1 Gb/s capable. The honest hybrid — a ~1,100-day local spool serves about three quarters of requests and partner networks backfill the rest. Account sharing is explicitly permitted, which is unheard of elsewhere.

+ WINS
▸Owns its Tier-1 infrastructure rather than reselling someone else's.
▸Explicit zero-log stance — it can see transfer volume, not content.
▸Account sharing officially allowed; connections upgradable to 150.
▸Bitcoin, Litecoin and Monero accepted.
− LOSSES
▸Local spool is only ~1,100 days — everything older depends on partner fills.
▸TLS 1.0 is still accepted, so old ciphers are tolerated.
▸VPN inclusion is contested across sources; verify before relying on it.
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.
