Troy, I have indeed heard of these folks. Giganews and Newsfeeds.com are outstanding choices for outsourcing Usenet.
I have also used their software. It is indeed first rate. But given price, scalability, performance, ease of administration and support (especially for FreeBSD), I'll stand behind my endorsement of DNews.

IMHO DNews is without peer. I base this on personal experience, and on the fact that all of the giant news services that I know of use it.

Hello Admins (I think we all are at some point),
I am considering running a news server, and I see there are several options out there.
Can someone recommend what they are running and why they chose it. I am particularly looking for one that doesn't suck alot ;-) I hear they all suck, no?

Ever hear of giganews.com? Last I heard, they were using server software from http://www.highwinds-software.com/.
As a testament to both Giganews and Highwinds Software, I /never/ hear complaints from my customers regarding news access.
