How to Post to Newshosting Usenet Newsgroups

Usenet content is all user generated. This means that users like yourself post information of all kinds in various topic groups called newsgroups. See the article entitled How is Usenet Organized for more information on what newsgroup types are available.

​Posting to Newshosting enables users to contribute to Usenet discussions and share information across various newsgroups. To begin, it's essential to understand that posting capabilities are not automatically enabled upon account creation. Users must request posting privileges. 

NOTE: We recommend using our Newshosting Usenet Newsreader for all of your discussion group posting needs. 

Text Discussions

Engaging in text-based discussions within newsgroups is straightforward. Utilizing the Newshosting Usenet Newsreader or a compatible newsreader application, navigate to your chosen discussion group. Select the "Post" option, enter a relevant subject line and your message content, then submit your post. To respond to existing discussions, use the "Reply" function, which maintains the conversational thread structure.​

Posting Large Articles

When sharing large articles, such as collections of photographs or lengthy documents, it's important to note that the Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) imposes size limitations on individual messages. To accommodate larger articles, they are typically divided into smaller segments, known as "multipart" messages. Various tools and newsreader applications can facilitate this process, ensuring that each segment adheres to NNTP's size constraints. For comprehensive guidance on posting multipart messages, consider consulting tutorials like the one available at Newsgroup Reviews.
