Afrihost receives two 2026 MyBroadband Award trophies for Best ISP and Best Hosting Provider
Afrihost has been officially presented with the coveted 2026 MyBroadband Award trophies for Best Internet Service Provider and Best Hosting Provider in South Africa.
MyBroadband handed over the two trophies to Afrihost CEO Gian Visser at the company’s offices in Johannesburg, celebrating a remarkable dual victory in a fiercely competitive local market.
Taking home both prestigious awards in a single year highlights Afrihost’s dominant position and sustained leadership across South Africa’s ICT sector.
MyBroadband awards
The annual MyBroadband Awards are highly respected within the technology industry, serving as a trusted indicator of excellence.
Winners are selected following comprehensive research, rigorous technical testing, and in-depth statistical analysis of customer feedback.
Participating companies are evaluated on several strict criteria:
- Range of products and services
- Quality of products and services
- Customer satisfaction
- Impact of products and services on customers
- Innovation
Afrihost clearly outpaced its competitors across all these parameters, proving its ability to compete and lead in two technically demanding sectors simultaneously.
A history of consecutive success
Receiving the 2026 Best ISP trophy marks the fourth consecutive year Afrihost has earned this specific distinction.
Following wins in 2023, 2024, and 2025, this 2026 victory reinforces the company’s reputation for consistency and measurable service delivery in the broadband space.
Simultaneously, the presentation of the 2026 Best Hosting Provider trophy represents its second consecutive win in this category.
This ongoing streak of successes is underpinned by Afrihost’s unwavering focus on providing aggressively priced products coupled with excellent, highly responsive customer service.
Disrupting the market since 1999
Afrihost’s current achievements are built upon a deep local legacy. The company’s strategy of delivering world-class quality at affordable prices dates back to its founding as a web hosting business in 1999.
At a time when website hosting in South Africa was prohibitively expensive – with established providers charging roughly R550 per month for entry-level packages – Afrihost disrupted the market with a groundbreaking R150 per month offering.
That bold move significantly lowered the barrier to entry, kickstarting a new era of local digital entrepreneurship and cementing Afrihost as a pioneering industry challenger.
More than a quarter of a century later, the company continues to innovate and expand to meet evolving customer needs.
Its diverse portfolio now encompasses premium web hosting infrastructure alongside broad connectivity solutions, including fibre, Fixed LTE, Fixed 5G, and ADSL.
Receiving these two 2026 MyBroadband Award trophies is proof of Afrihost’s enduring legacy, continuous improvement, and deep commitment to keeping South Africans connected.
