Afrihost has slashed the data transfer prices\u00a0for its\u00a0cloud and dedicated hosting packages, with clients now paying as little as 59c per GB on some packages.<\/p>\n

Afrihost has also increased the amount of web traffic on its cloud, rack, dedicated, and reseller hosting packages by up to 400%.<\/p>\n

Clients on reseller hosting will now receive unlimited traffic – subject to an AUP – to and from their servers.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur data transfer costs on some packages are reduced from R2.97 per GB to R0.59 per GB – an 80% saving on web traffic,\u201d said Afrihost.<\/p>\n
