Interface

House of Usenet has a pretty simple interface, typical with other types of Usenet indexers where you can easily search for posts or files. In the case of House of Usenet, you will be able to only search for subjects or posts since it is a forum type of indexer. They have an advanced search option where you customize your search results from searching for full messages or “only in subjects”, finding topic with the least or the most number of replies, finding posts based on date of post and finding specific topic or quality.

If you don’t want to use the advanced option, you can simply just browse through the forums to look for the subject that interests you. The main page also has a scrolling image of current films available. When you click a film, it will redirect you to the forum thread of that specific film. Current series and games are also available on the right side of the home page.

Membership Levels

House of Usenet has no membership levels since it is completely free. You can easily register to this Usenet indexer by clicking on the ‘to register’ link on the homepage and supply the required information which will allow you to explore the indexing site and forum.

Please be reminded that House of Usenet does not host any files but places NZB file tags for you to be able to locate the files you are looking for.

Support

You can check out the FAQs page of the site. This page covers information on shoutbox, board search instructions, nzb file information and other problems you may encounter when using the indexing site.

House of Usenet also has a ‘contact’ link on their page, however, upon clicking it redirects to a page that shows that “you don’t have permission to access this page”. You may need to wait for your account to be activated or moderated before you can access this.

Conclusion

As a forum-type of Usenet indexer, House of Usenet is a decent option. It has an active community of users and we appreciate that current films are listed on the home page. When you click on a specific film, it redirects you to a page information on that film where you will be able to find a link to the nzb file. That being said, while it is a decent option as a Usenet indexer, it seems like it does not host a wide range of posts or files when compared to our top Usenet search engines or NZB sites. But since it is a free site, you have nothing to lose when exploring or using House of Usenet.
