ElfHosted now bundle free NNTP access with all NZB-enabled plans
We've concluded the proof-of-concept we announced in December, testing the viability of bundling a 3rd-party UseNet provider's accounts with our plans, and we've worked out a pricing model which works for both parties, so we're pleased to announce that ...
A bundled NNTP account is now included free on every ElfHosted subscription which supports UseNet! 🔥
This includes:
- AIOStreams
- Usenet Streamer
- Usenet Ultimate
- MediaFusion (yes, v5 supports Usenet!)
- StremThru (latest version introduces the "Newz" addon)
- Plex / Emby / Jellyfin stacks with NzbDav
- The big 'ol Stremio Addons Bundle
Since not all users want or need another NNTP provider, we've made the provisioning "lazy", meaning you activate own bundled account if you want it.

Activate bundled nntp account!How it works
After careful analysis of our unique usage patterns, we've modeled up 4 tiers of NNTP account, using combination of throughput and daily usage to manage costs.
Here's how it works:
- 4K: Default, 150Mbps throughput, with 150GB daily cap (enough for one chunky 4K movie / day).
- 2x4K: Automatically paired with the applicable booster, limited to 256Mbps throughput with 256GB/day usage.
- 4x4K: Automatically paired with the applicable booster, limited to 512Mbps throughput with 512GB/day usage.
- 8x8K: Automatically paired with the applicable booster, limited to 1Gbps throughput with 1TB/day usage.
After hitting a daily usage cap, the account continues to work, but speeds are reduced to 50Mbps, so that lightweight management / streaming is still possible while waiting for the daily cap reset.
The basic 4K tier only works within the ElfHosted environment, but the larger plans will also work with Stremio's native NNTP support, currently on desktops only and in beta on Android TVs (stream directly from the provider instead of via ElfHosted infra).
