The Leased Dedicated Server is a dedicated catching resource for serious and high-volume dropcatching — your own server running the Transcom dropcatch engine, installed and configured for you, with the resources to pursue premium and hard-to-catch names. £149/month. What you get: - A dedicated server resource allocated to your catching, not shared. - The full Transcom dropcatch engine installed and configured for you. - Multi-core capacity to run many non-blocking EPP sockets in parallel. - Positioned for low round-trip time to the Nominet backend for competitive drops. - Web-based front end to manage domains and monitor results. Built for premium names: Single-mode and premium catches need more resources than a shared catch — short and three-character names, high-value domains and heavily contested drops all benefit from a dedicated engine firing on its own server. Leasing gives you that horsepower on a monthly basis instead of a large upfront purchase. We install and configure everything: The current engine is a complete rewrite for Nominet's time-release process (PHP 7.4, UTC/Zulu timing), using a proprietary algorithm that streams EPP writes in blocks across multiple non-blocking sockets. We set it all up for you, so the server arrives ready to catch. Ideal for registrars and domainers running serious catching volume, or anyone targeting premium names where dedicated resources make the difference between a catch and a miss.
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.
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.

Built for high-cost links: FastAPN is purpose-built for costly satellite links and any connection with high response times or quality issues from large numbers of concurrent users — exactly where provisioning is expensive, such as aviation systems. The service enhances all protocols, ports and services: email, Exchange, Outlook and streaming all enjoy the same acceleration, security and protection automatically. It's plug-and-go, with optional tracking of throughput, resource usage and logs if you want it. For end users, fleets and airlines: From a single-user daypass through to an entire airline deployment with dedicated analysis, QoS and a dynamic GUI FAP platform. Optimised for aviation (ATG/EAN/SATCOM) and satellite (GEO/LEO/MEO/BGAN/SBB), and effective on any high-RTT network.
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.
