This company is terrible This company is shocking, their interface for sign up is terrible and difficult to use. They make it difficult to find how to cancel and when you do cancel they still charge you. Be careful, I've had to block them on my credit card as the option to cancel on their site does not work so they just continue to charge you and hope you don't notice that you are paying them each month and on top of that its expensive 23 dollars for this service is what i was paying which is crazy

Fast and reliable since 2007 Very fast and reliable service - I cannot remember it being down since I first signed up in 2007, and for new stuff I download around 80-90MB/sec over 1Gbit cable modem, as close to wire speed as anything ever is. Their Windows client is kind of terrible, it doesn't do any kind of precise searching and you can't really sort, but I run Sonaar with an outside NZB indexer I donate to so I can't remember when last I used their client to search. Also, I think I'm paying extra for the VPN service which worked fine the couple of times I used it but is something I never remember I have. Not sure what they report their retention age to be, I tend to be fine downloading stuff >1500 days old (4 years) but more than that you've got too many missing articles. I have not scientifically analyzed this, I just looked at my recent history downloading earlier full seasons of Strike Back :) Good service, I never feel bad renewing it every two or whatever years. Highly recommend.

Very happy so far. I don't have much experience with other providers but that is because Newshosting has been working great and managed to serve me everything I ever wanted so far. I am very happy with their services and as long as they keep it up, I will continue to use them.

User since 2005 I have been using Newshosting since 2005 and have extremely happy with the service. I have been blown away with the exceptional retention rate, and as my internet speeds have evolved and gotten faster over the years Newshosting has always been able to feed me my data at those newer speed. Their news reader also has been great, and the fact they support multiple os's has been great. What else can I say other than they have been top notch and reliable. Cheers to the team!

'Newshosting' is Fantastic!! The 'Newshosting' site is always reliable, fast, and I can't recall a time when it ever went down. It retains posts for a very long time, and I have never received any virus's or malware of any kind. My only constructive issue is with many of the posters that feel it necessary to add a suffix-(numeral), and/or a suffix-(personal moniker), to the end of each song title. This leave me/us to have to delete each one manually, which is a huge PITA. But as far as 'Newshosting' itself, it's fantastic, and I would be devastated if it ever went away!! Keep up the great work!!
