FINAL VERDICT_
Newshosting is the benchmark the rest of the roster gets measured against: the Omicron group's flagship network, the deepest advertised retention pool anywhere, 100 connections, and the best bundled newsreader in the business. The caveats are real but small — US DMCA jurisdiction, cards-and-PayPal-only payments, and renewal prices that jump after the promo year. Take the annual promo, skip month-to-month, and verify the price at checkout — retention figures are advertised, not independently measured.
