Sharing Newsgroup ACCOUNTS?

[Oyster]

i was wondering if anyone knew what other news hosting servers allow you to share your accouts with your friends?

[RealitY]

Its frowned upon by all but many say they do it with Newshosting without any problems.
If you decide to try thier service out you can use our refferal link at...

newshosting all the way :)

sharing the 1 i use with 2 other people, just make sure u tell ur friends to only use 2 connects or something.

I was thinking of doing a "rotating" system with a couple of people for giganews. For example, you split the cost then just use the unlimited package for 10 out of 30 days of the month before passing it on to your friend.
That's a great way to cut costs, especially if your hard drive would fill up with just 10 days of usage.

actually newshosting only allows 1 ip at a time to be connected to their server, even if u gave ur friend 2 connections, u still have to wait until he's finished...

That may be what they state as I mentioned above all servers that seem to frown upon it but some allow it.
Many have stated sharing NewsHosting accounts without any issues...

how come ur not on msn anymore dood?

[allexsimmons]

can someone pm me about sharing an account? willing to split bill.

[krapper]

I was thinking of doing it proxy style.
I.E. find/buy a fast connection via a datacenter and split 1 giganews account among 10 people.
That way you just connect via the server and can share 1 IP.

[james_bond_rulez]

well if you have a good upstream connection like 50Mb/s...

[Boogieman117]

If I give 1 friend the user/pass, he/she gives me $7.50/month.
2 friends, $5.00/month.

And onward and downward.

i used to share my newshosting connection between 2 different IPs and after about 2-3 months they detected it and told me that my account would be canceled if i didn't stop :(

He said he was using his newshosting connection. I was doing the same, dl at home and work and they weren't too happy about it either.

I got a sharing question. What if I share my newhosting account to someone on my router, so technically its the same IP right? Is it okay? Can we use it at the same time or would we have to split connections like I set my connections as four and the other connections as four since i have the 8 connection unlimited account...

:rolleyes: :)

thx

I found a link here (http://www.metropipe.net/wiki/index.php/Private_Newsgroup_Reading_HOWTO) about a tunneler tool which hides the ip address from newsgroups, so maybe this would work for sharing an account if it hides the ip from the provider?

ASTRAWEB have a great offer at the moment-90 GB @ $25,I Know in the past there service was not up to scratch,but now i cannot fault them.
