TigerUsenet recently included SSL capability for all of its plans. They offer 260 day binary retention and 730  day text retention.  They have 5 plans ranging from $6.99 - $22.99 with dedicated server farms for either the US or EU.  All plans come with a free newsreader (Newsrover) and email support is fast and responsive with any inquiries, as well as an in-dept FAQ section for self-help.

Features
TigerUsenet offers more than the average with a 260 day binary retention, despite the plan you choose. Plans range in price and the download limite per month until the higher tier plans which are unlimited. They offer a free version of Newsrover newsreader as well as a thorough knowledgebase for novice to experts



Support
TigerUsenet has an email system allowing you to choose your specific reason to contact. Response is fast, with normally 1-2 hour responses. Additionally, they offer an extensive support section covering everything from server set up to support for the supplied free newsreader.



Conclusion
TigerUsenet is a greatly decent Usenet provider. The pricing plans are very flexible, although some of the bandwidth limitations might be questionable to more avid usenet users. Spanning service from the US and EU and maintaining consistent speeds is a great addition as well. The free NewsRover newsreader is an added bonus for joining up too. They lack a trial plan and no member incentives for referrals other than those for webmaster affiliates, is a small footnote of an otherwise a great service. Support is great and an informative FAQ/Knowledgebase is a plus as well. TigerUsenet deservedly receives a top placement as a Usenet provider in our book.

Provider Features Defined

Web Access NNTP

A few Usenet Providers offer Web Access to newsgroups. Using this method of access can significantly cut your header download count if your Usenet provider counts it.

Newsgroup Newsreader Tips

Newsreader Newsgroup Search

Some newsreaders offer the ability and feature of being able to search through most popular newsgroups all at once using keywords specified. Depending on the newsreader, some charge for this feature.

Usenet Utilities Tips

Commercial Software

Many commercial products, especially newsreaders, offer trial periods to use the software - normally fully featured - before requiring purchase to use them. Best featured newsreaders are usually shareware.
