Extend MxGuard's quarantine retention from the default 30 days to a full 90 days, account-wide, for £9.99/month. Useful for businesses in regulated industries with strict audit or compliance requirements, teams that review quarantine less frequently, or anyone who needs a longer window to recover a legitimately quarantined message. Released messages and verdict history stay searchable for the full 90 days. No change to how mail is scored or delivered — only how long held messages are retained. Billed monthly, ex-VAT; the window adjusts from the next billing cycle.
Veritus is a UK-hosted signup-fraud-scoring API and drop-in widget that verifies who's signing up before they ever reach your database. It checks email, phone, address, IP and behaviour in real time, then returns a score, a verdict and a reason — in under 100 milliseconds. From £29/month (Starter); free tier with 1,000 checks/month available forever. The problem it solves: CAPTCHAs slow down real users and barely inconvenience modern fraud rings. Veritus replaces guesswork with a transparent, machine-learning-scored answer for every signup — cloud-delivered, drop-in and self-improving. Every signup is checked against dozens of identity and risk signals and returns a single allow, review or block verdict you can act on instantly, with a clear explanation behind every score. Identity checks: - Email validity, age and disposable-domain detection - Phone validity and line-type lookup (mobile, VoIP, landline) - Address validity for the UK and 30+ countries - Name and date-of-birth consistency checks - Carrier and email-provider reputation Risk signals: - IP reputation — VPN, proxy, Tor and datacentre detection - Password breach check against billions of leaked credentials - Device and browser fingerprinting - Velocity and repeat-signup detection - Behavioural anomaly scoring How it scores: A LightGBM classifier weighs every signal and returns a score from 0 to 100 with a clear allow, review or block verdict. Every verdict is transparent — it comes with a list of human-readable reason codes (for example: Tor exit, VoIP phone, young email, breached password, geo mismatch). No black box, so you can defend any decision to a customer, an auditor or a compliance officer. Two ways to integrate: - Drop-in widget — paste one script tag in your page head and tag your signup form. On submit, Veritus scores the user in under 100ms and either lets the form through, queues it for review, or blocks it with a friendly message. Ideal for WordPress, low-code SaaS or any HTML form. - REST API — a single POST /v1/score call returns the score, verdict and reasons as clean JSON. No SDK, no heavy integration. Self-learning: Mark a verdict right or wrong and the model adapts to your specific signup patterns. Your allows and blocks feed the next nightly training cycle automatically, so scoring gets sharper for your traffic over time. Allow / block rules: Define rules at four scope tiers — form, domain, customer or global — with full hit tracking. Block disposable-email domains, proxy IP ranges or specific phone prefixes, or allow trusted partners outright. Built for reliability: Active-active high availability across UK and EU scoring nodes, with PostgreSQL streaming replication and Redis replication over mutual TLS. If either node fails, scoring keeps flowing. 99.9% API uptime target, sub-100ms end-to-end scoring. Pricing tiers: - Free — £0/mo, 1,000 checks/month forever, widget + API, all 7 enrichment signals, 1 domain. - Starter — £29/mo, 10,000 checks, customer-specific model, webhooks, 5 domains, review queue, email support. - Business — £99/mo, 50,000 checks, unlimited domains, 1-year history, multi-user dashboard, phone support. - Scale — £299/mo, 250,000 checks, reseller sub-accounts, white-label widget, 99.9% SLA, dedicated account manager. No per-seat pricing, no minimum contract, no throttling — overage is billed at month-end. Charities and open-source projects get Business at 50% off. UK-hosted and GDPR-aligned: All scoring and storage stays within the UK and EU — no US data residency. Built and operated by Transcom Internet Services, with over three decades in UK internet infrastructure and Nominet-accredited registrar heritage. Full audit trail of every decision.
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.
