Newshosting is a top-tier Usenet service, available for a fraction of the usual price.
Most Usenet providers offer the barebones of what you need to subscribe to a newsgroup and download binaries. Newshosting takes things a step further by maxing out the features and wrapping it all up in a stunning, modern website. Registered in the early days of the internet explosion (1997) Newshosting has a recognised pedigree in Usenet terms. Projecting confidence and professionalism, its web page is a demonstration of a modern sales page. You want the product, they have it, and you’re going to be enticed with the feeling the website wasn’t knocked up in Microsoft Frontpage Express in 2004. Newshosting subscription options: With servers in the USA, Netherlands, Germany, and a generic EU address, Newshosting also offers a zero log VPN and desktop newsreader client. There’s a free trial too, limited to a usable 30GB of download data. Considering Newshosting? Its three bundles offer unlimited speeds,12 years’ worth of data retention, the option of unlimited download data, and up to 60 simultaneous connections. There’s also the free newsreader with a search tool, a downloadable desktop app compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux. The newsreader features a login prompt on launch, which means you can only use it to access Newshosting initially. However, it is possible to use the Options > Settings > Backup NNTP panel to add other Usenet service providers that you may subscribe to. This is a useful feature in the event of a service outage. With popular newsgroups (binaries and text) preselected in the Bookmarks section, the newsreader can also provide previews of listed binaries in search results. This can help save time and bandwidth if you’re looking for a specific file. The Newshosting client also supports NZB files, downloads whose parts are logged in an XML file for more effective downloading. If something goes wrong with your Usenet access, what do you do? Well, Newshosting offers a subscriber-only control panel that provides all the information you need to manage your plan.
