Are Uploads/Posts Counted Against Transfer Limits on Newshosting?

The answer is simple: Newshosting does not count posts against a user's transfer limit.

How Posting Works on Newshosting

When you post an article to a Usenet newsgroup through Newshosting, it is distributed across multiple Usenet servers. Unlike accessing articles, where usage is measured based on the volume retrieved, posting does not impact your transfer limit on Newshosting.

Do Newshosting Posts Count Toward Usage Limits?

No, Newshosting does not track uploads as part of a user's transfer limit. Your usage is measured only when accessing articles, meaning you can post freely without concern for exceeding any limits.

Why Newshosting Does Not Count Posts

  • Access-Based Usage Tracking: Newshosting only calculates usage based on access, not uploads.

  • Unlimited Posting: Regardless of your plan, you can post as much as you want without affecting your account's transfer limit.

  • Efficient Data Management: Newshosting optimizes its infrastructure to support high article retention while allowing users to contribute freely to newsgroups.

Posting on Newshosting

If you are using Newshosting’s newsreader or any compatible software, you can post articles to newsgroups without restrictions. Your posts will propagate across Usenet, and their availability will depend on the retention settings of different servers, but they will not impact your transfer limits.

Summary

Newshosting users do not need to worry about posting affecting their usage limits. You are free to participate in discussions and share information in newsgroups without impacting your account’s transfer usage.
