Newshosting is one of the most “senior” providers out there. In the old days it was known to be fast and offer very good quality Usenet access at the regular pricing you found among Usenet providers. But as you may or may not know, those days are over as almost all providers were forced to make really big updates in terms of retention.
Is this company able to keep up with the competition?
Let’s do one of our “quick and crusty”, in-dept checkups:
Retention: Over 1215 days are being offered (almost 3 years) and it is still growing daily.
Anonymity: SSL is available for free, and downloading is completely secure since no download logs are being created according to them.
Pricing: Here is one of Newshostings biggest advantages over other providers:
When buying through the official site, you can get an unlimited account for only $12.95, which is already one of the lowest prices in the industry. However by clicking on our special link, you can get these prices:
– Unlimited account: $9.99 with our “secret” URL, or $99 per year (which is $8.25 a month)
– Block account (for casual users): 25GB for $10, 180GB for $25
Now, in nature, these type of offers are limited so we can’t assure you how long it will be available. You can use the link on the top to secure the special price for the entire time of your subscription.
Speed: According to dozens of reviews you can reach speeds of over
50 MBit, so downloading a complete DVD or BlueRay takes only a few minutes. Now, we tested it and were actually able to download with over 100 MBit. Of course, this is outstanding.
Other Nice Features: If you don’t mind paying ~ $5.00 more you can get the double amount of connections (60 instead of 30) and a free membership for “Easynews“, a site offering you Usenet access while using your browser, making downloading even less difficult. But quite frankly, you don’t really need this if you’re comfortable with the “regular” way of downloading which, also, is almost ridiculously easy. Also, except for the rare case you don’t own an own server or something, 60 connections is exactly the same, in terms of speed, as 30 connections.
Recommendation:
Wow. Just wow. Not only did Newshosting keep up with the competition, but now it has also become the Usenet provider with one of the lowest monthly prices offering a high-quality, unlimited service. Retention, Speed, and Completeness are all top notch so we can sincerely recommend this service.
