Subject: 28 years of recommending Usenet providers

Our story

TheNewsGroups.com was established in 1998 — back when the internet was still young and Usenet was the original social network. For over 28 years, we've been connecting users with the best Usenet newsgroup providers on the planet.

What started as a small Usenet access provider has evolved into a trusted comparison and referral platform. We don't just recommend providers — we've used them all, tested them all, and know exactly what makes each one great.

Our mission

Usenet represents everything the internet was meant to be: free, open, decentralized, and uncensored. In an age of algorithms, data mining, and corporate control, Usenet remains a beacon of what the internet can be.

Our mission is simple: help people discover Usenet and connect them with the best providers. We believe in privacy, freedom of information, and the power of decentralized networks.
