Each MxGuard domain includes 25 mailboxes as standard. Need to protect more addresses on a domain? Add a pack of 25 mailboxes for £9.75 per month. Add one pack per additional 25 mailboxes required. A 40-mailbox domain is the base plan plus one pack; a 100-mailbox domain is the base plan plus three packs — still well below per-user competitor pricing. Same full AI filtering, quarantine, live feed and HA on every mailbox. Billed monthly, ex-VAT, on the same invoice as the domain. Got a lot more than a few packs? Talk to us for a bespoke quote.
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.

MailProof is a certified email service that gives you legal-grade proof your important messages were sent and delivered. Every email is routed through a certified relay that records the full SMTP handshake with the recipient's mail server — their acceptance and exact timestamps — and turns it into a formal PDF certificate. The Free plan includes 10 certified emails every calendar month at no cost, with the complete feature set, so you can prove delivery whenever a contract, notice or deadline calls for it. Your Free plan includes: - 10 certified emails every calendar month, free — the allowance resets each month - A formal PDF delivery certificate for every confirmed email - Real-time tracking through every stage: submitted, dispatched, delivered, confirmed and opened - Read confirmation — know exactly when your recipient opens the message - Send from your own business email address (recipients see you, not us) - Attachments up to 10MB, with the file names recorded on the certificate - A public verification link so recipients can confirm delivery with no account How it works: Getting certified delivery takes four steps, with no software or plugins to install: - Sign up with the email address you want to send from — no verification delays, ready in seconds. - Compose your message, add any attachments, and send it through the certified relay. - MailProof records the full delivery chain and the recipient server's acceptance, with timestamps. - You receive a PDF certificate — tracking ID, timestamps and full delivery proof — plus a confirmation email with the PDF attached. Recipients can verify it online. What the certificate proves: Each certificate carries a unique certificate ID and tracking code, the sender and recipient details, the subject line, any attachment names, and the complete timestamped delivery timeline — independent evidence that stands up when a dispute, deadline or regulator asks for it. What people use it for: - Contracts and agreements — proof the other party received them - Deadline-sensitive notices — terminations, cancellations and warnings delivered on time - Regulatory compliance — GDPR notifications, financial disclosures and documented communications - Landlord and tenant — rent-increase notices and maintenance or eviction warnings Secure by default: Emails are protected by TLS 1.3 in transit and AES-256-GCM encryption at rest, and message content is only ever accessible to you, the account holder. Need more than 10 a month? Add the 100-email bundle for £45, or pay as you go at £0.50 per certified email.
Transcom Dropcatch is a professional online dropcatching platform for expiring .uk, .co.uk, .org.uk and .me.uk domains registered with Nominet. The Free Access plan lets anyone submit and monitor catches with no upfront fees and no submission limits — you pay only when a domain is successfully caught. Built and operated from Brighton since 1993. Pay only on a catch: There are no submission fees, no listing fees, no minimum quantities and no contract. You submit the domains you want, the system monitors them live, and you're only charged if and when a catch succeeds. Pricing is per successful catch by mode: - Fast — £10 + VAT — quick catches across the standard drop. - Multi — £25 + VAT — unlimited submissions, any quantity, for any domain except high-value premium names. - Single — £50 + VAT — full dedicated resources for premium and hard-to-catch names such as short/3-character domains. How it works: - Simple two-line registration — your username can be anything, but for consistency use your Nominet IPS TAG or Acorn account if you have one. - You don't need to be a Nominet TAG holder to use the service. - Submission is fully automatic — the system inserts the expiry and drop dates and allocates resources, filtering out any domains not in the expired window. - Status updates are live — when a domain is caught, a FastPay link appears next to the result with payment options. - Every result shows which system cluster made the catch (CAUGHT-XX), so you can see the engine behind each win. Precision catching technology: The platform uses real-time Nominet drop monitoring, pre-warmed sockets and NTP-synced precision firing over the EPP/DAC process, run from fast, low-RTT infrastructure close to the Nominet backend. This is the same proven engine that powers Transcom's leased and owned dropcatch products. Caught a domain — then what: - Caught domains appear in your records and in the public Just Caught list (unless you prefer to keep them private). - List caught domains for sale on the integrated auction site with no listing fees. - Leave the domain on Transcom's TAG with renewal at current rates, or transfer it out to your own TAG. - Optional RDHE add-on (£10 + VAT per year) provides Registration, Hosting and Email for new domains — instant DNS, a holding page and catch-all email with webmail, IMAP and SMTP, or forwarding to an existing address. Integrated live auctions: The service includes its own live auction facility — submit and bid on domains of any TLD, with no listing fees and no limit on submissions. Sell your caught domains or pick up others' directly through the platform. For heavier or self-run catching: If you run your own dropcatch setup or own Transcom's software, dedicated multi-core server resources can be allocated for premium, hard-to-catch names. Leased and owned engine options are also available for those who want to catch under their own TAG and settle with Nominet directly at preferential rates. Free to start: no card needed to register and submit. You only ever pay on a successful catch — making it a genuinely no-risk way to chase expiring UK domains.
