Can anyone recommend a good news server that is cheap and has no
posting limits? Thanks

What subject?
What sort of limitation are you trying to avoid?

Well, I have never heard of posting limits, although some have download
limits. I use both dotsrc.org and newshosting. Pick newshosting if you want
a reliable, fast server (you can get unlimited access as well) at a decent
price. Pick giganews if you want the best. If you just want basic access to
newsgroups (no binaries!) I recommend dotsrc which is free:

holiday.

How long does it take for dotsrc.org to answer?

A few minutes. I think it is a program that answers.

No sorry. But you can try to ask in alt.free.newsservers.

dotsrc.org/sunsite.dk carries the group
