A new Usenet provider is tying its shoes and stretching, anticipating to hit the ground running into an already large and competitve market.
UseNetVault is expecting to launch its usenet services on Monday, June 16th, 2008. Offering both monthly subscription accounts as well as slotted accounts, known as “pooled” or “bucket” accounts, allowing users to get prepaid accounts based on his/her anticipated bandwidth usage; these slotted accounts are valid for up to 12 months.
What we can expect:
- 100+ days binary retention
- SSL enabled for no extra cost
- 20 concurrent connections on all accounts
- Live support 24/7
- 100, 000+ available newsgroups
- and over 99.8% completion rate
Most conveniently, UseNetVault will also be accepting PayPal as a payment method (along with all major credit cards). This comes as a huge relief to many users! Very few news providers accept PayPal, despite the large demand, due to PP’s unwillingness work with usenet-related groups.
A word to the pirates:
While we can assume they will comply with the DMCA, posting can be enabled on all accounts at no extra charge.
A word to the spammers:
Don’t even think about it. Spammers will be shut off without notice. Save your pyramid schemes and cell phones from Nigeria for phpBB forums.
A word to the webmasters:
Affiliate and referral systems will be in place (just don’t expect it for a few weeks after launch), giving you the opportunity to get cash back or credits to your account for signup leads you direct to them. A pretty sweet way to get someone else to pay for your Usenet access, without having to do anything.

I’ve had nothing but trouble with newsnetvault, I finished my account with Newshosting as i tried everything to get their SSL to work with NZB O Matic. but no success, so i thought i’d try these. Well, i wish i didn’t. I’m now using newsbin pro as my reader which from reading reviews is possibly the best. so i shouldn’t get a problem.usenetvaults servers give inconsistant speed, daily outs. and absolutely horrendous customer service. Do they know when someone cancells an account you get the rest of your paid up cycle to use. These didn’t. I still don’t know if they understood what meant just now when i asked them to put my account back on. no doubt in a months time they will charge me and i’ll have to go through the same again.
Dont know about the guy before me, but I have had excellent speed, and customer service was online and answered my email within 2 minutes. Great completion, and extreme speed, a deal at any price.
Your blog is interesting!
Keep up the good work!
