"Ja well no fine"

I have 3 accounts with them. The reason being that I tried them first with a 1 gig package @ R39 valid for 1 year which can be topped up. The test turned out fine so I got another 3 gig package @29/gig for my business with automatic top up and another 2 gig package for home use.
Now.......in the 3 gig package they gave me a free domain name registration and "parked" it. ( Value R 300 ) This is where my frustration started.

I decided to have the domain activated and in the process also asked them to register another domain as well for which I paid R 300 and R 35/m for doing a "domain pointing" to my server in the USA. Both domain pointings cost me R 70 /m.
My son who does the websites and hosting has been battling for 4 weeks now to access the domains and asked me to help by phoning Afrihost. I made some phone calls to their support (sometimes as bad as phoning a government department) and approx 15 emails to try to get the problem sorted.
I phoned them this morning and the result was: My original domain had been registered but the account had not been paid to COZA by Afrihost. ( They claim they only do payments every 3 months !) and they have pointed this to their own hosting site.
The second domain for which I have paid the registration and also the domain pointing charge has not even been registered at COZA but for both these "services" I have been billed.

So, my experience so far is mixed, ADSL access is ok but the domain handling side seems to be a bit beyond them.
