SmartDNS unlocks 400+ geo-restricted streaming services worldwide by transparently routing your DNS queries through UK servers — making streaming services believe you're in a different region, instantly, with zero speed loss. £3.79 per month, no contract. Faster than a VPN: SmartDNS works at the DNS layer — there's no VPN tunnel, no speed overhead and no app to install. You change two DNS addresses and you're done. Unlike a VPN, SmartDNS only routes the DNS lookup; your actual streaming data travels directly from the streaming server to your device at full speed, with no tunnelling or encryption overhead. That's why it has zero impact on streaming quality. What you get: - Unlock 400+ services — Netflix US, BBC iPlayer, Hulu, Disney+, Amazon Prime, DAZN, Sky Go and hundreds more, regardless of where you are. - Full-speed streaming with no buffering penalty from tunnelling. - Works on Smart TVs and every device — Apple TV, Chromecast, Fire TV, consoles, phones, tablets, laptops and routers. - Change your apparent location — appear to be in the UK, US, Germany, Japan, Australia and more, switched instantly via your DNS settings. - No logs, no data — we don't log your browsing, store query history or share any data. - Whole-network coverage — set it on your router and every device in your home is covered, with no per-device setup. - Setup in seconds — two DNS addresses, no software, no certificates, no VPN clients. - No contract — month-to-month billing, cancel any time, full UK support included. How it works: When you access a geo-restricted site, your device first does a DNS lookup to translate the domain into an IP address. SmartDNS intercepts only those DNS queries for geo-sensitive domains and returns responses that route the connection through our UK proxy infrastructure. Using SNI (Server Name Indication) proxy technology, the streaming service sees a valid connection originating from the correct region — without any VPN tunnel, encryption overhead or IP masking of your main connection. Built for reliability: The service runs on a dual UK server architecture with automatic failover — your subscription gives you access to both primary and secondary servers simultaneously. We continuously update our routing tables as streaming services change their geo-detection methods, so your DNS addresses never change but the backend adapts to keep services working. Supported platforms: - Windows, macOS, Linux - Android and iOS - Samsung, LG and Sony Smart TVs - Apple TV, Chromecast, Fire TV - PlayStation and Xbox - Home routers (set once, covers all devices) - DHCP server configuration Trusted by thousands: 8,500+ active subscribers, 400+ streaming services, two UK redundant servers, and 24/7 UK support from real engineers. Pair SmartDNS with our Deep Packet Filter to block adverts, malware and tracking at the same time.

The Multicore Dropcatch VPS is a purpose-built server for running dropcatch software, positioned within Iron Mountain in Slough — just ~3ms RTT from the Nominet backend. That low round-trip time is the single biggest factor in winning competitive drops, and this server type is tried and tested specifically for the job. £18/month, no contract. Specification: - 6 virtual CPUs - 4 GB DDR3 RAM - 80 GB SSD storage - Unlimited bandwidth - IPv4 and IPv6 - No contract Why location matters: Dropcatching is won and lost in milliseconds. Sitting ~3ms from the Nominet backend at Iron Mountain Slough means your EPP create commands reach Nominet faster than from general-purpose hosting — a decisive edge on contested names. The multi-core spec lets the engine run many non-blocking EPP sockets in parallel. Who it's for: - Anyone running their own dropcatch setup who needs a fast, well-positioned catching node. - Owners of Transcom's dropcatch software who want ideal infrastructure to run it on. - Registrars catching under their own Nominet TAG who need low-latency EPP access. The server is ready for the Transcom dropcatch engine (PHP 7.4, UTC/Zulu time) or your own catching software. Pair it with the Front End Dashboard to manage catches remotely, or the owned/leased engine to run the full Transcom catching stack.
The Owned Engine is a one-time purchase of the Transcom dropcatch software outright — your own licensed copy of the engine to install and run on your own Linux server, catching dropping domains from any registrar that uses the EPP / DAC XML process. £665 one-time. What the software does: The engine catches dropping domain names from registrars using the EPP / DAC XML process — around 80 countries operate one. The configuration file comes pre-configured with Nominet parameters, making it ready to use straight away for any Nominet registrar. Once you own it, there are no monthly fees — you run it on your own infrastructure under your own TAG. Modern time-release engine: The current software is a complete rewrite for Nominet's time-release drop process (introduced September 2022), while remaining compatible with the older DAC/EPP method. Key features: - Multiple non-blocking EPP sockets — all scripts run multi-socket and non-blocking. - A proprietary algorithm that streams EPP writes in blocks for tighter timing. - Seven chronological result points to help you judge the best moment to send EPP creates. - Latency computation displayed on the login screen. - Post-check registration — register a name if the catch timing missed the slot but the domain became available. How you run it: - Requires PHP 7.4.x with the server set to UTC/Zulu time (all drop times are in Zulu). - run.php — single domain, non-blocking mode. - robin.php — round-robin mode, multiple domains read from a flatfile list, fully automated. - Several additional utilities are provided, plus nightly Nominet droplist downloads. Own it outright: Install via SSH on your own Linux server using your EPP password, Account ID and licence key. Existing SSH-software owners can upgrade to the new engine. A one-time purchase with no recurring fees — settle caught domains with Nominet directly at your own registrar rate. Leased options are also available if you'd prefer not to buy.
