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.
Received a toxic, persistently annoying or criminally actionable email? The Email Forensic Report compiles a complete evidence report from the message's headers and metadata — tracing where it really came from, how it was sent, and whether it has been spoofed or forged. £7 per report, delivered by email. What we examine: - Full header trace — every routing hop the message passed through, in order. - True originating IP address and geographic location of the genuine sender. - Spoofing and forgery techniques used to disguise the real source. - Sender authentication results — SPF, DKIM and DMARC checks. - From / Reply-To / Return-Path consistency and any mismatches. - Indicators of phishing, impersonation or automated/bulk origin. What you receive: A complete evidence report detailing all routing hops, any spoofing tricks employed, the true sender IP and full location — written so it stands as evidence. The report is structured to be admissible, making it suitable for use in disputes, complaints to providers, or onward action. How to use it: - Identify the real source behind an anonymous or spoofed message. - Support a complaint to an ISP, employer, platform or the authorities. - Establish an evidence trail for harassment, fraud or threatening emails. You forward us the email in question; we analyse the raw headers and metadata and return the full forensic report by 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.

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.
