What Is Usenet? A Guide from Newshosting

Usenet is one of the oldest global communication systems on the Internet. Long before modern forums and social networks, it offered a decentralized way to post and access discussions through a system of newsgroups. These newsgroups are organized by topic, making it easy to find areas of interest.

Newshosting provides direct access to billions of articles across thousands of newsgroups. With over 6,000 days of article retention—growing every day—Newshosting allows users to review older discussions, track long-term conversations, and access materials others might have missed.

Usenet operates independently of the Web and relies on specialized servers and newsreaders. Newshosting makes this simple by offering its own newsreader software with built-in search tools, giving users a way to browse, preview, and access articles securely through SSL connections.
