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. Starter — for growing SaaS & small e-commerce: - 10,000 checks / month - Everything in Free - Customer-specific model layer - Webhooks (5 endpoints) - 5 domains, unlimited forms - 90-day verdict history - Allow/block rules + review queue - Email support Overage: £3.50 per 1,000 extra checks.
Leased TAG Owner Access lets you catch dropping Nominet domains under your own IPS TAG, cutting the capital cost of building a catching operation while settling registrations with Nominet directly at the preferential registrar rate. £89/month. The idea: Rather than buy the engine outright or pay per-catch fees, you lease access and run catches against your own Nominet TAG. Caught domains land directly on your TAG, and you pay Nominet their registrar rate — keeping your costs low and your domains under your own control from the moment they're caught. What's included: - Catch dropping Nominet domains under your own IPS TAG. - Settle registrations directly with Nominet at the preferential registrar rate. - Web-based front end to manage your domains and submissions. - The full current catching engine — multi-socket, non-blocking EPP, time-release aware. - We install and configure the software for you. Who it's for: - Nominet registrars who hold their own TAG and want a proven catching engine without building one. - Anyone wanting to cut the capital cost of dropcatching while retaining direct Nominet settlement. You bring the TAG; we provide and run the catching engine. The software is a complete rewrite for Nominet's time-release process, configured and maintained for you, so you can focus on choosing which domains to chase.
MxGuard Business is a cloud-delivered, hybrid-AI email security gateway that stops spam, phishing, malware and business-email-compromise before they ever reach your inbox. Point your domain's MX record at MxGuard and every inbound message is scored, sorted and forwarded on to your real mail server — with a single web console to manage everything. £16.99 per domain per month, with 25 mailboxes included. How it works: MxGuard sits in front of your existing mail server. A gradient-boosted machine-learning classifier scores the easy 95% of mail in milliseconds. The borderline messages — the ones that matter most — are handed to Claude, Anthropic's large language model, which reads them the way a person would before a verdict is reached. Every verdict comes with a plain-English reason, so you can always see exactly why a message was tagged, quarantined or rejected. Why old filters fail and MxGuard doesn't: Rule-based and Bayesian filters were built for an era of obvious spam. They miss the carefully written, well-targeted attacks: CEO impersonation, invoice redirection, gift-card fraud, lookalike domains and AI-written phishing with perfect grammar. These payload-free attacks sail past legacy filters — and they are exactly where MxGuard's LLM layer is strongest. What MxGuard stops: - Phishing — credential-harvest pages, fake login flows and OAuth-consent traps. - BEC and impersonation — CEO fraud, invoice redirection, supplier impersonation, gift-card scams. - Malware and ransomware — ClamAV scans every attachment, including archives; macro-bearing Office docs and HTML smuggling scored heavily. - Bulk spam and UCE — classic spam, snowshoe and hailstorm campaigns, with near-zero false positives on legitimate bulk mail. - Lookalike domains — homoglyph attacks, doubled letters and ccTLD swaps, checked at envelope, From header and reply-to. - Backscatter and spoofing — SPF/DKIM/DMARC enforcement plus ARC sealing through forwarding. Included on every domain: - ML-based threat scoring with sub-5ms decisions. - Claude LLM evaluation on uncertain mail, with transparent written verdicts. - Real-time live feed dashboard showing mail as it's processed. - Daily digest emails with one-click release and block actions. - Allow / block rules with hit tracking. - URIBL, Spamhaus and URLhaus threat feeds. - ClamAV attachment scanning. - ARC sealing for forwarded mail. - Self-service domain management — no support tickets needed. - 30-day quarantine retention. - 25 mailboxes included (add packs of 25 for more). - Active-active high availability across two UK gateways (mx1 + mx2). No hardware, no installs, no capital cost: MxGuard runs in our UK-based cloud. There's nothing to deploy on your premises, no agents to install and no firewall rules to add. Most customers are live within a working day. Subscription pricing means no up-front investment and no surprise upgrade costs. UK-hosted and GDPR-aligned: Your mail data is processed and stored in the UK. Month-to-month billing with no minimum contract, no setup fees and no annual lock-in. 10% off on annual prepay. Migrating from eFa? eFa reaches end-of-life in July 2026. MxGuard is a direct replacement that runs in the same MX-fronting role with modern detection. We import your existing allow/block lists and provide guided cutover assistance free of charge — most migrations complete inside two days.
TDesk Single Domain — One site, no fuss. Perfect for a single company website or freelancer. Everything you need for one site — mail, DNS, SSL and backups — at an impulse-buy price. £4/month. This tier includes: - Disk: 3 GB - Domains: 1 - Mailboxes: 5 - Databases: 2 - Subdomains: 2 - Domain aliases: 2 - Email aliases: 2 About TDesk: TDesk is a UK-hosted cloud hosting control panel that does something Plesk and cPanel don't — it bundles the panel, the server, the storage and the bandwidth into a single monthly price, then automates the work of running them. There's no VPS to rent separately, no registrar account to hold elsewhere, no WHMCS licence to buy for billing. You add a domain and the whole hosting chain provisions itself; everything below is included on every tier, with the tier setting only your quotas. A panel that provisions itself: Most panels hand you a checklist. TDesk runs the chain for you. Enter a domain and, in under ten seconds, it deploys a full DNS zone across three nameservers, generates and publishes a DKIM keypair, wires mailboxes with SPF and DMARC, attaches AI spam filtering, deploys the web vhost under an isolated Linux user, and issues a live Let's Encrypt certificate — with a pre-flight DNS check so a rate-limit is never burned on a zone that isn't pointing at us yet. The domain is live on HTTPS, sending authenticated mail and protected from spam, before it can receive a single message. Each step is idempotent and retryable, so provisioning is reliable rather than a sequence of things that can half-finish. Real per-customer isolation: Every customer is a genuine UNIX user on the box. PHP runs as that user, and files are mode 0640 owned by them — no shared "nobody" account, no reading across accounts. This is proper operating-system-level separation, not a soft convention, which matters the moment you host more than your own sites. AI mail security, built in and free: Inbound mail on every domain passes through MxGuard, Transcom's own AI gateway. A LightGBM classifier (0.988 AUC) sits inside a full DNSBL / URIBL / SPF / DKIM / DMARC / ARC pipeline, backed by ClamAV virus scanning, quarantine and per-domain sender rules. It's attached automatically during provisioning and costs nothing extra — spam filtering that would be a separate paid product elsewhere is simply part of the platform. Fraud screening on every signup, free: Veritus risk-scores new signups before an account goes live, using email, phone, country and IP signals to catch throwaway and high-risk registrations automatically. It protects both you and any customers you go on to host — particularly valuable if you resell. Hosting done properly across the board: Web hosting runs on nginx with PHP-FPM, MySQL and PostgreSQL, created and managed from the panel with browser-based admin. Each domain can run in one of four modes — Website, Forwarding, No hosting or Shop. DNS is served from three authoritative nameservers (a primary plus two geo-distributed secondaries) with full record editing. SSL is free Let's Encrypt, auto-renewed. As a Nominet-accredited registrar, TDesk registers .uk domains directly — and adds domain parking with branded for-sale and holding pages, plus dropcatch to catch expiring .uk / .co.uk domains on a pay-on-success basis. A real shop, not a bolt-on: The ecommerce module is a full storefront — ten themes, cart, checkout, Stripe and PayPal, and built-in Shop SEO — so a hosted domain can become a working online shop without a separate platform. Backups, files and security: Backups are scheduled, encrypted and stored off-site with 30-day retention and one-click restore of any file, mailbox, database or full site. The browser-based file manager supports drag-drop upload and per-customer SFTP. Security is layered in — fail2ban, a WAF, firewall and two-factor authentication. Run it our way or yours: Use our UK cloud with the server included, or point TDesk at your own clean AlmaLinux 9 box — connect it once with a bootstrap token and the same provisioning chain runs on your hardware, same panel, same price, no per-server licence fee. Every tier can resell: create customers with their own logins and quotas and bill them however you like; TDesk just runs the platform. UK-hosted and GDPR-aligned, built and operated by Transcom — running UK hosting since 1993. No contract: pay monthly, cancel any time, unused days refunded. Ring up and someone who actually knows hosting answers.
