What is Usenet Article Retention?

The length of time a provider stores Usenet posts is known as retention. Measured in days, it determines how far back you can explore the valuable data contained in Usenet newsgroups. Shorter retention limits users to only more recent discussions, but with high retention, like the rate offered by Newshosting (over days!), users have access to more articles.

Usenet providers store the newsgroups that make up Usenet. Within each newsgroup is thousands of user-generated articles and discussions for the community to access. This is known as the “Usenet archive.” The higher a provider’s article retention rate, the bigger the archive, the more posts are available to enjoy, and the more conversations are available to join.

Unlike other Usenet providers, Newshosting doesn't discard its past. We store almost two decades of articles. You simply get more Usenet with Newshosting than any other provider!

Many Usenet providers will claim high article retention rates, but only keep the most popular articles. That’s why it’s important to have a provider like Newshosting that offers the most complete article retention.

Newshosting stores Usenet posts from every newsgroup, so users get the highest completion rates on all their searches.

With Newshosting, you don’t need other providers. If it's available on Usenet, Newshosting will have it.

Why Does Article Retention Matter?

Higher article retention rates directly translate to more successful searches. When a provider offers longer article retention, it means posts are stored and accessible for a longer period, improving the chances of finding the post you're looking for.

More article retention means you find what you want the first time.

Usenet has been around for decades, and longer article retention periods allow users to tap into this extensive history. With higher article retention, users can access discussions that date back many years. The ability to access older articles enriches the overall Usenet experience, providing a deeper and more comprehensive view of Internet history.

A higher article retention period means more discussions are available. Users can explore a wider variety of newsgroups and topics, expanding their horizons and discovering new interests. Additionally, it ensures that even the most obscure newsgroups maintain a rich archive, making Usenet fun for users with a variety of interests.

Retention that Increases Daily

While many Usenet providers offer longer article retention periods, they still delete posts daily.

Newshosting utilizes a system called spooling retention.

Spooling retention adds one day to the archive every single day. This means higher quality article retention, with articles that are never automatically deleted based on their posting date. Users will be able to access more articles than they could find on any other Usenet service.

Usenet articles posted since Newshosting implemented spooling in 2008 remain accessible – that's + days of information at your fingertips!
