Free Newsgroup Servers

If you're looking to start another Newsgroup, you should know that free Newsgroup servers exist. As a result of the World Wide Web's rise, there has been an exponential growth in access to these servers. This article provides basic information for people who are considering the installation of a new server or wish to know more about what they offer.

There is no restriction on the number of messages which can be posted within a given period and messages do not expire before being read. The bandwidth usage is typically low and most services provide additional web space for personal use as well as shell accounts at no additional charge. All manner of email from newsletters and commercial advertising to polls and technical support questions are all acceptable topics for this global discussion forum. Unlike the more commonly known Internet Relay Chat (IRC) and Multi-User Dungeons (MUDs), there is no predefined hierarchy or language used to discover other users.

Free newsgroup servers are usually accessed over HTTP/FTP protocols, although some have HTTPS versions as well that can be used by those who require an encrypted connection. Unlike the open medium for free email newsgroups, it is common practice to register with a service when creating and subscribing to new groups. Most free newsgroup servers are controlled by one company, but a number of others have similar services. The service costs roughly US$10 to register and $2 per month for each newsgroup listing your group has.

Conclusion

A Usenet server is generally a computer, or a group of computers that are designated for the storage and retrieval of messages posted in one or more newsgroups. The computers that make up the server are sometimes called news servers.

Usenet servers can be used with client software designed to read the content of posts from the server to receive that content. This software may be bundled with the service, or it can be downloaded for free from a number of Internet sites. This software is commonly called "Usenet newsreaders".
