Afrihost – South Africa’s top ISP and hosting provider
Afrihost has strengthened its position in South Africa’s technology sector by winning two major categories at the 2026 MyBroadband Awards.
The company was named both Best Internet Service Provider and Best Hosting Provider – recognising its strong performance across connectivity, hosting, customer service, and innovation.
The two awards emphasize Afrihost’s ability to deliver leading services across the highly competitive local ICT market.
This is not a new happening, either, as Afrihost’s 2026 Best ISP award marks the fourth consecutive year it has secured the prestigious title.
It has also won the 2026 Best Hosting Provider award for two years running.
This sustained performance reflects Afrihost’s commitment to delivering reliable, industry-leading connectivity and hosting in South Africa.
Afrihost leads in connectivity
Afrihost’s connectivity portfolio serves a wide range of South African households and businesses through technologies such as fibre, Fixed LTE, Fixed 5G, and ADSL.
Customers can therefore choose connectivity services suited to their requirements while receiving the support that has become expected from the Afrihost brand.
Winning Best ISP for four consecutive years is particularly significant in a market where customer expectations, network technologies, and connectivity requirements continue to evolve. Afrihost has responded by continually improving its services while retaining the value proposition that has played an important role in its growth.
Hosting excellence
Afrihost’s success in the hosting industry is not new – it has been trailblazing in this sector since it was founded in 1999.
Its immediate goal when it was created was to make quality hosting more accessible to South Africans.
At the time, entry-level web hosting packages from established providers could cost around R550 per month.
Afrihost entered the market with an offering priced at R150 per month, significantly lowering the cost of establishing an online presence.
That focus on combining strong technology with competitive pricing remains central to Afrihost’s approach more than 25 years later.
Securing the Best Hosting Provider award for a second consecutive year shows that Afrihost remains a major force in the market where it established its reputation.
Recognising consistent performance
The MyBroadband Awards evaluate South African technology companies across areas including product and service quality, customer satisfaction, innovation, and overall customer impact.
Afrihost’s success across both ISP and hosting categories demonstrates its ability to perform strongly across these key measures.
With four consecutive Best ISP titles and two consecutive Best Hosting Provider wins, Afrihost has strong momentum across two of its most important markets.
