Newshosting NNTP Server Information

Accessing Usenet through Newshosting is straightforward and is similar to accessing email services.

First create a Newshosting Usenet account. Once your account is active, you'll need a newsreader to read, search, and post user-generated discussions on Usenet.

We recommend using the Newshosting Usenet Newsreader for optimal access. If you opt for a different newsreader, configure it with the following server settings:

Hostname: news.newshosting.com
Unencrypted Ports: 119, 23, 25, 80, 3128
SSL Ports: 563, 443

Newshosting also provides additional server options, including IPv6 connectivity, which may enhance your connection experience. The available servers are:

Geographic Auto-Select Hostnames

IPv4: news.newshosting.com
IPv6: news6.newshosting.com
