Review Of Ixinews
If you do not speak French language, you have to do a little research in order to find what this provider based in France has to offer. This is simply because their home page is using the 128-bit encryption technology and you will find no use of popular Google website translation tool.
Regardless of this fact, you will easily recognize all the needed information about their service. We must also say that great deal of information is provided. Nevertheless, we wouldn’t mind complete translation into the English, although, as we have said, it is not to hard to manage. Let’s check then what do they have the offer.
Servers
Currently, 4 servers (located both in Europe and USA) are available with the following addresses and ports:
- news.ixinews.com (port 119, 443 or 8080)
- europe.ixinews.com (port 119, 443 or 8080)
- ssl.ixinews.com (port 563, 80 or 81)
- ssl-europe.ixinews.com (port 563, 80 or 81)
As you can notice from the above, the ports 563, 80 or 81 are used for servers with SSL (the 256 SSL encryption is available). The maximum of 10 simultaneous connections are available.
Retention and completion
The retention for binary groups is more than 500 days (and growing) and for the text groups is more than 1000 days (growing as well). The completion is over 99%.
Support
They have 0-24 support, seven days a week, but only on French.
