- 550 days binary retention |
Newshosting has been around a long time and has a large customer base. They were the first Usenet provider to announce binary retention upgrades (up to 400 days). Since then News Hosting has steadily raised retention up to 550 days with continued growth daily. They also increased connections up to 60 and are offering special discounts (more on that in a minute).
Newshosting offers 550 days binary retention and 1,000 days text retention across 100,000+ newsgroups. While they use to vary retention based on account type, you now get full retention with all Usenet plans. Server farms in both the United States and Europe (Amsterdam) enhance performance and reliability.
Newshosting leads the industry when it comes to number of concurrent connections allowed. Those who want maximum speed will want to choose the NHXL account with 60 connections.

Accounts also come with free SSL encryption and lightning accelerator for header compression.
