Afrihost receives 2025 MyBroadband Award for Best Hosting Provider
Afrihost won the prestigious 2025 MyBroadband Award for Best Hosting Provider in South Africa, and was recently presented with a trophy in recognition of this accomplishment.
Gian Visser, the CEO of Afrihost, accepted the award at their offices in Sandton.
The annual MyBroadband Awards are given to the most successful businesses in South Africa’s ICT sector.
These awards are highly respected within the local technology industry thanks to the comprehensive research and testing that goes into selecting the winners.
Candidates are chosen based on their range of offerings, the impact of their products and services on their clients, and the quality of their solutions.
The winners are South African ICT businesses that stand above their competitors in their respective categories – and Afrihost did so in the hosting sector.

History of success
Taking the 2025 Hosting Provider of the Year title is a first for Afrihost, but it has been crowned the ISP of the Year three years running – including in 2025.
This shows an ongoing history of success for Afrihost in South Africa’s broadband market.
Afrihost was founded in 1999 at a time when website hosting in South Africa was prohibitively expensive.
It launched with a game-changing domain and hosting package priced at just R150 per month, undercutting the cheapest solutions by around R400 and kickstarting a new era of local digital entrepreneurship.
That bold move helped popularise web hosting across the country and laid the foundation for Afrihost’s reputation as a leader in the space – a reputation that has now been reaffirmed with the 2025 Hosting Provider of the Year award.
Winning the 2025 Hosting Provider of the Year award is not just about performance metrics – it reflects deep trust from users, a commitment to continuous improvement, and a strong local legacy.
Afrihost’s victory this year is both a celebration of where it began and a sign of where it’s headed – continuing to empower South Africans to build, grow, and connect online.
