Easynews offers Usenet access both through traditional Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) servers as well as a web interface using a standard web browser.
In 2006, Easynews was bought out by Highwinds Media, and their infrastructure merged.
This move dramatically increased retention for all Easynews customers.
Easynews and HW Media continue to develop additional infrastructure to improve the web interface performance.
In 1997, Easynews implemented SSL encryption as an optional service feature for all customers.
