AfiaHost is a company that has been around since 2008 but they just recently changed ownership so only time will tell if their services will get better or worse, on their site they say there may be some disruptions due to the upgrading of their services. AfiaHost.com has no about us page and I can’t find any info on where they are from or where their shared and VPS servers are located or are being hosted from, there is no information on what sort of Lan connections they have or what tier services they are connected to.

AfiaHost offers the following pluses they use SSD could be better if they were using NVMe but still, SSD is good, they offer free SSL, CDN I don’t see anything about Migration you will need to contact them to see if they offer Free Migration, and they offer a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Lacking would be as I commented above NVMe hard drives and the bare minimum software for speed and security LiteSpeed/LSCache, Imunify360, MariaDB, PHP 7.x-8.x also lacking would be daily backups and security audits.

Some other Stats provided by SemRush that might interest you about AfiaHost they have 1.2K backlinks from 113 different referring domains, They have an Authority Score of 9 which is almost as bad as it gets. The majority of AfiaHost‘s search engine traffic comes from the Following keywords below.
