Newshosting

Newshosting is a great platform overall, but the download app is outdated.

Newshosting is fundamentally a very good platform, and the idea of consolidating everything on one page is fantastic – that’s a solid 5 stars from me. Especially for beginners, this is an excellent solution. The developers have clearly identified a key user pain point and provided a well-rounded package. However, the implementation of the download app is severely lacking. The app feels like it’s stuck in the 90s, missing essential basic features that you would expect from modern software. The user interface and overall user experience are extremely poor. It quickly becomes apparent that nothing has been done to improve the user experience for at least a decade. It seems as though the developers have underestimated the potential of the app or have not fully considered the needs of the users. The lack of updates to the software suggests that innovation and improvement have not been prioritized. In summary, the core concept of the platform is strong, but the poor execution, particularly the outdated download app, significantly detracts from the overall experience. With an updated and modern app, Newshosting could better leverage its strengths. German: Newshosting ist grundsätzlich eine sehr gute Plattform, und die Idee, alles übersichtlich auf einer Seite zu vereinen, finde ich großartig – dafür gibt es von mir 5 Sterne. Besonders für Anfänger ist das Konzept eine echte Hilfe. Die Entwickler haben einen wichtigen „Pain Point“ der Nutzer erkannt und ein gutes Gesamtpaket geschnürt. Leider fällt die Umsetzung der Download-App jedoch stark ab. Die App wirkt, als wäre sie in den 90er-Jahren steckengeblieben, und es fehlen wichtige Basisfunktionen, die man heute von einer modernen Anwendung erwartet. Die Benutzeroberfläche und die allgemeine Benutzerfreundlichkeit sind äußerst mangelhaft. Es wird schnell offensichtlich, dass die User Experience seit mindestens einem Jahrzehnt nicht überarbeitet wurde. Es scheint, als hätten die Entwickler das Potenzial der App unterschätzt oder sich nicht ausreichend mit den Bedürfnissen der Nutzer auseinandergesetzt. Die mangelnde Weiterentwicklung der Software spricht dafür, dass hier wenig Wert auf Innovation und Verbesserung gelegt wurde. Zusammengefasst: Die Grundidee der Plattform ist stark, aber die schlechte Umsetzung, insbesondere die veraltete Download-App, trübt das Gesamterlebnis erheblich. Mit einer überarbeiteten und modernen App könnte Newshosting seine Stärken viel besser ausspielen.

Exceptional Service and not a single problem in almost a year

I´ve using this service for almost a year and I´ve never experienced any downtime, poor speed or any other problem. I have used the service with 1 and 10 Gbits connections and I was getting a speed always around 400-500 MB (limited by the hard drives with the 10GB lines) and 100-120 MB (limited by 1 GB lines). I can also say the peering is incredible, during this year, I have downloaded from a dedicated server in Finland (10GB), from a server in Germany (another 10 GB), sometimes from home (domestic 1GBit line in Spain) and now with a dedictaed server in Netherlands (1GBit) Every single time and from any location, the speed was the maximum speed I could get with the computer/connection I was using.
