My ISP dropped newsgroup support a year ago. So I got a block account from

it went down yesterday, back up now. It would be nice to have another news
server all set up. Any recommendations? I'm not paying a monthly charge.
Block billing is OK

I've been on news.individual.net since they were the U. Berlin and free.
It's about 12 bucks a year now, billed annually, text only, and I've never
had a hint of trouble with it.
