Veritus is a UK-hosted, cloud-based fraud-scoring engine built for the moment that matters: signup. When someone submits a registration form on your site, Veritus enriches what they typed against multiple third-party data sources, runs the combined signals through a LightGBM machine-learning model, and returns a verdict in under 100ms — so you can stop fake signups before they ever create an account. Add it in minutes, two ways: a drop-in JavaScript widget (no backend work) or a REST API. Every check runs seven enrichment signals — email validity & age, phone validity & line type, address validation, IP & geolocation, breach exposure, device & behaviour, and cross-field consistency — before the model scores it 0–100. You set the block and review thresholds, and the model self-learns from your confirmed real and fraud outcomes. No per-user fees and no hidden enrichment surcharges. Business (most popular) — for established SaaS, e-commerce & communities: - 50,000 checks / month - Everything in Starter - Unlimited domains & forms - 1-year verdict history - Unlimited webhooks - Multi-user dashboard (5 seats) - Custom block messages - Phone & email support - Onboarding session Overage: £2.50 per 1,000 extra checks.

Managed Hosting — we run your website so you don't have to. A completely hands-off hosting service for businesses that want a professional web presence without ever touching a control panel. We handle the setup, the server, the security and the day-to-day maintenance; you get a fast, reliable site and a single predictable monthly bill. £15.99/month + VAT. What's included: - Fully managed hosting — we handle setup, updates, monitoring and maintenance - Unlimited resources — no caps on storage, bandwidth, databases or traffic - A domain name included — registered and configured for you (.co.uk, .uk or .com) - Email accounts included — professional mailboxes on your own domain - Complete configuration — DNS, SSL, email and site all set up and tested for you - Free AI spam filtering and fraud screening built in - Encrypted off-site backups with 30-day retention Hands-off by design: Managed Hosting is for people who want a website, not a hosting account. You tell us what you need and our team builds and runs it on Transcom's own UK infrastructure. There's no panel to learn, no software to update and no server to babysit — if something needs doing, we do it. It's the difference between renting hosting and having a hosting team on call. Unlimited resources: Your site runs without the usual quotas. Disk space, bandwidth, databases and email are all unlimited within fair use — so a busy month, a large media library or a sudden traffic spike won't push you into an upgrade or land you an overage charge. One price covers it. Your domain and email, sorted: The plan includes a domain name, registered and pointed at your site for you, plus professional email accounts on that domain. We configure DNS, SPF, DKIM and DMARC so your mail authenticates and reaches inboxes, and we issue a free, auto-renewing SSL certificate so your site is secure on HTTPS from day one. Built on proper infrastructure: Hosting runs on nginx with PHP-FPM, MySQL and PostgreSQL, on genuinely isolated per-customer accounts — real operating-system separation, not a shared free-for-all. Inbound mail passes through MxGuard, Transcom's own AI spam gateway, and new signups are screened by Veritus fraud detection. DNS is served from three authoritative nameservers, and every site is backed up encrypted and off-site. Support that actually manages: Because we run the platform, support isn't a ticket queue that hands the problem back to you — it's the same team that built and maintains your site. Migrating from another host, changing your site, adding mailboxes, adjusting DNS: ask, and we handle it. Established 1993: Transcom Internet Services has hosted UK businesses for over thirty years and is a Nominet-accredited registrar. Managed Hosting puts that experience to work so you can get on with your business while we look after the technology.
MxGuard Smarthost is an outbound mail relay: route your server's outgoing mail through MxGuard's reputable UK and EU infrastructure so your messages actually arrive, instead of being silently rejected or spam-foldered by the big mailbox providers. A standalone bolt-on you can add to any domain that needs it. What a smarthost is: A smarthost is a trusted relay that sends your mail on your behalf. Rather than your own mail server trying to deliver directly to Gmail, Microsoft and Yahoo, it hands each message to MxGuard over an authenticated TLS connection. We relay it out from clean, well-established IP addresses that already have sending reputation — so the receiving side trusts it and delivers to the inbox. Why your outbound mail might not be arriving: - Poor IP reputation — if Spamhaus, Barracuda or Microsoft SNDS list your IP (or its neighbourhood), Gmail quietly spam-folders and Microsoft outright rejects. - Blocked port 25 — most consumer and many business ISPs block outbound port 25, so your server can't talk to the world directly at all. - Dynamic or shared IP — residential, shared-hosting or NAT-pool IPs are treated as low-trust by default. - Missing PTR, SPF or DKIM — without proper reverse DNS, aligned SPF and a DKIM signature, modern receivers treat your mail as spam. How it works: Your mail server hands outbound mail to smtp.mxguard.uk over an authenticated, encrypted connection (port 587 with STARTTLS). We scan it lightly, optionally DKIM-sign it, rate-limit it, and relay it out over the same reputable UK and EU IPs used to deliver scanned inbound mail. Configuration takes about five minutes; after that your mail server sends exactly as it always has, with MxGuard sitting transparently in the middle. Setup in three steps: - Enable outbound relay for the domain in the dashboard and pick your auth mode. - Point your mail server's smarthost / relayhost / "send-via host" at smtp.mxguard.uk:587 with the generated credentials. - Done — outbound mail flows through MxGuard immediately, logged in your dashboard. Two ways to authenticate: - SMTP authentication (SASL) — a unique username and password per domain; works from any IP, can be rotated freely, and constrains the sender domain so no one can spoof others. Recommended. - IP allowlist — give us your static sending IP(s) and we trust the source with no credentials. Simplest config for fixed-IP datacentre servers. Light-touch handling — the right tools for outbound: - ClamAV virus scanning on every attachment, so a compromised account can't blast malware out under your name. - Rate limiting at 2,000 messages/day per account by default — if you exceed it we contact you rather than surprise-bill. - Optional DKIM signing on request (most customers already sign at their own server). - Full logging — every outbound message appears in your dashboard tagged outbound, showing who sent what, when, to whom, and whether it was accepted. - We deliberately do not run the inbound AI spam classifier on your outbound mail — those models are trained to judge mail sent to you, not by you, and applying them backwards would false-positive your legitimate business mail. Reliable by design: Active-active high availability across both gateways — mx1 (UK) and mx2 (EU) both accept submissions. If one node is down, your server's connection simply succeeds on the other, with no manual failover. Who it's for: Self-hosted mail servers and small-ISP setups suffering deliverability problems. If you're on Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace you almost certainly don't need it — those already send from reputable IPs. When you enable smarthost we give you the exact SPF include (include:_spf.mxguard.uk) to authorise our IPs for your domain. Billed monthly per account, cancel any time — disabling it simply reverts the domain to direct outbound with no other config changes. Included free during your MxGuard trial.
