99% Completion

UseNetServer maintains peering relationships with all major Usenet providers and most smaller providers, which means you have access to virtually every article posted to Usenet anywhere in the world. Because UseNetServer’s storage architecture is fully redundant, we never lose an article once we’ve received it. This all translates to near perfect completion and great reliability.

Free SSL Connections

We at UseNetServer understand that security and privacy of your Usenetserver Usenet traffic is important to you, so we offer free 256-bit SSL connections to all of our customers. SSL encryption helps ensure that your username and password remains safe from identity theft. Additionally, SSL encrypted access helps you avoid any attempt by your ISP to throttle your bandwidth speeds or expose you to invasive deep packet inspection technologies.
