Afrihost is the winner of the 2026 MyBroadband Awards for ISP of the Year and Hosting Provider of the Year.
Winning these two awards is a notable achievement for any company in South Africa; however, for Afrihost, it’s especially impressive, as this isn’t the first time the ISP has claimed victory at the MyBroadband Awards.
This marks the fourth consecutive year that Afrihost has won the ISP of the Year award, and the second time it has won the Hosting Provider of the Year award.
Furthermore, this is the second time in two years that Afrihost has won both awards in the same year.
The annual MyBroadband Awards are regarded as a trusted indicator of industry leadership, and winners are selected after rigorous testing.
This involves assessing the strength and breadth of the services and solutions offered by the companies, as well as the value they deliver to their customers.
Included in this is a statistical analysis of the services, based on extensive testing and customer feedback, to determine satisfaction and reliability.
Based on these strict criteria, Afrihost’s chain of victories is a truly impressive achievement for the company.
Awarded for excellence
Afrihost claimed victory in these awards thanks to its high-quality services and reliability.
This is the result of its diligent efforts to position itself as a leader in the connectivity and hosting markets.
A key factor in its strategy is providing competitively priced products and responding promptly to customer feedback.
For its ISP services, it provides Fixed LTE, Fixed 5G, ADSL, and mobile connectivity solutions to its clients, ensuring it can meet the needs of all its customers, from households to businesses.
This focus on affordability is also reflected in its hosting services.
Afrihost was founded in 1999 as a hosting business and made its name by bucking the trend of extremely expensive hosting costs common at the time.
When it was founded, established providers charged R550 per month for hosting services, so Afrihost chose to offer R150 per month, positioning itself almost immediately as a trendsetter in the space.
This focus on affordable hosting also popularised web hosting, expanding the industry.
Future victories
Afrihost will continue working to improve and expand its service offerings.
The ISP and hosting provider will continue with its current strategy and invest further in its infrastructure and service delivery.
