Why Afrihost is the 2026 MyBroadband Awards winner for ISP of the Year and Hosting Provider of the Year
Afrihost has won the 2026 MyBroadband Awards for Hosting Provider of the Year and ISP of the Year.
This double victory highlights the company’s dedication to offering quality services and reaffirms its leading position in South Africa’s connectivity and hosting markets.
These awards are based on a thorough evaluation by MyBroadband.
This includes an in-depth analysis of market position and historical trends, as well as assessments of the strength and breadth of a company’s solutions, the tangible value delivered to customers, and the competitiveness of its overall service offering.
The winning company must score top marks across all assessment criteria to be considered for a MyBroadband Award.
Afrihost’s double victory is therefore even more impressive, highlighting its industry-leading performance in both of its core markets.
Top hosting provider
Afrihost winning the Hosting Provider of the Year at the 2026 MyBroadband Awards marks the second consecutive year it’s won in the category, emphasising its consistently high performance in the sector.
This is unsurprising, as Afrihost has an extensive history and a reputation for delivering high-quality hosting services at lower price tags.
When Afrihost launched in 1999, it was a hosting provider during a time when hosting services were extremely expensive, with the average price charged by established providers hovering around R550 per month.
Afrihost turned the market on its head by offering hosting services for only R150 per month, permanently lowering the barrier to entry.
It has continued this trend of offering great services at reasonable prices throughout the following decades.
Top ISP
Afrihost winning the ISP of the Year for 2026 marks the fourth consecutive year that the company has taken first place in the category.
This is thanks to the company’s efforts over the last decade to strengthen its position in the South African broadband market, cementing a strong reputation for consistency and measurable quality.
Its first victory in 2023 was achieved thanks to its excellent customer satisfaction ratings and broad range of high-quality solutions.
It has since defended this title, winning in 2024, 2025, and 2026 by maintaining this dedication to ensuring every Afrihost customer can find the exact service they need.
Afrihost provides fibre, Fixed LTE, Fixed 5G, ADSL, and mobile connectivity solutions, ensuring it can cover households, professionals, and businesses without issue.
Additionally, the continued expansion of its infrastructure and the adoption of the latest technologies ensure its services remain at the cutting edge.
Through this, it continues to lead the ISP market and claimed another deserved victory at the 2026 MyBroadband Awards.
