Newshosting, a global leader in providing Usenet service worldwide, has officially announced (and we seen it coming) that they are now offering a VPN service along with premium Usenet access.

What is VPN

A VPN is an online encryption utility that allows users to control their IP address while providing high strength encrypted Internet privacy. A quality VPN provider also helps to remove online censorship and geographical restrictions, you are allowed to choose your IP address and online location.

Newshosting’s new service provides over 70+ servers in 17 countries. Anonymous IP addresses provide users with the following benefits.

• Unmetered VPN Bandwidth
• Unlimited Server Switching
• Two Simultaneous VPN Connections
• OpenVPN, L2TP, and PPTP Protocols
• Free software
• Direct Access to the Fastest Worldwide VPN Network
• 100% Online Identity and Data Protection

The Newshosting VPN service is included with Annual and XL Powerpack plans and is available as an add-on to any other Usenet plan. Customers can also choose to purchase a VPN-only account.

Having access to both Newshosting Usenet and VPN services provides highly secured transfers, allowing users to truly enjoy all that Usenet has to offer.

Newshosting Summary

Newshosting is a premium Usenet service provider operated by Highwinds Media Group. Highwinds is the largest player left in the Usenet market and operates services such as UsenetServer, Easynews and Newshosting. Each service offers quality Usenet access but has different features and pricing between the brands. Newshosting offers industry leading retention and pricing and unlike Easynews and UsenetServer is comes with a custom newsreader which makes the service unique over Highwind’s other properties.

Retention Times

Newshosting has good retention times and ranks with other leading providers. At the time this review was written they offered 2,454+ days of retention which on par with leading providers such as Giganews, Usenet Server, Fast Usenet and Astraweb.

Free Trial

Newshosting offers a generous 30 day 15GB free trial. The free trial is unrestricted and includes access to their newsreader with search, full retention and 30 secure SSL connections.

Service Plans

Newshosting offers three different Usenet plans. Unlimited, XL Powerpack and Lite. Unlimited and XL Powerpack both offer Unlimited downloading. The Lite package offers 50GB/month with roll over gigs.

Download Speeds

Newshosting is the only Usenet provider that offers 60 concurrent connections. Though it’s nice of them to offer 60 connections, most providers such as Fast Usenet will max out your bandwidth with less. But I have to say that Newshosting does offers great speeds and will surely fill whatever size Internet pipe you have.

Conclusion

Newshosting is a highly recommended Usenet provider. They offer great service and great features. Their prices are a little higher then some others providers but the features are worth it. If you aren’t looking for all the fancy features and just want pure Usenet service with great retention and speeds we suggest that you visit our Fast Usenet review.
