Direct answer
Giganews is an older provider. In 2026 it is not the account most people should start with. Newshosting or Eweka keep a longer archive of the files people download now.

Buy it if
You already depend on this archive, or you specifically want its older text history. That is a real reason. "It used to be the big name" is not. For a normal first account, Newshosting or Eweka is the clearer buy.
Skip it if
You hoped it would finish files Newshosting misses, or the price looks high next to a current yearly offer. A familiar name does not mean a longer archive. If you need a second network, look at NewsDemon or the block accounts instead. Giganews and Supernews are easy to confuse at checkout. Confirm which product the cart is selling.
What the price means
You are often paying a premium for an older archive, not for more of the files a new account is bought to get. Put the Giganews total next to a Newshosting or Eweka year before you pay. If European takedown rules are the goal, this is the wrong account. European providers are the relevant list.
Prices change. Check the provider checkout before you pay. Affiliate links may earn 4usenet a commission.

FAQ: Giganews
Is Giganews still a good first provider?
For most people, no. The archive people use in 2026 is longer at Newshosting and Eweka, often for less money.
When is it still worth it?
When you need this specific archive, especially older text, and you have checked that a current provider does not already have it.
Will it back up Newshosting?
Do not assume that. A second account only helps when it keeps files the first one does not.
