Connection Speeds / Server Locations

We haven’t tested the connection speeds of NewsFusion, but based on reviews, it’s of a standard level only.

They have datacenters both in Europe and the USA with the following addresses:

  • EU: eu.newsfusion.net (ports 119, 443)
  • USA: us.newsfusion.net (ports 119, 443)
  • SSL (EU): ssl.eu.newsfusion.net (ports 80, 81, 563)
  • SSL (USA): ssl.us.newsfusion.net (ports 80, 81, 563)

One server farm is located in the Phoenix, Arizona and other in Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Server uptime is near 100% and, as you have already noticed, the SSL (256-bit) is also available. 24 connections are shared among both server farms, but they find that their average customer can saturate the connection with less than five connections.

Technical Notes

  • USA Datacentre: All systems online
  • Europe Datacentre: All systems online
  • SSL Connectivity: Available / Available
  • Control Panel: Online
  • Email Support: Available
  • Web Server Load: 0.00, 0.01, 0.05
  • Binary Retention: 1000 Days +
  • Text Retention: 1000 Days +
  • Completion: 99.8% +
  • Newsgroups: 119,199

Quality of Service

They currently offer up to 440 days of binary retention and over 1000 days of text retention. The completion rate is 99.5%, but we have not tested the accuracy of  their claims.

Customer Service

NewsFusion provides customer support through email and an online form.

Conclusion
