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. Scale — for high-volume platforms & MSPs: - 250,000 checks / month - Everything in Business - Reseller / sub-account support - White-label widget - Unlimited dashboard seats - 99.9% uptime SLA - Dedicated account manager - Custom data retention & rule scopes - Priority support
The Front End Dashboard is a web-based cloud control panel for managing the Transcom dropcatch engine remotely — submit domains, monitor drops and review results from your browser, without touching the command line. £18/month. What it does: - Manage your dropcatch engine from a single web dashboard, anywhere. - Submit domains to catch and monitor their status live. - Review catch results, including the chronological EPP timing data the engine produces. - Control the engine remotely rather than running scripts over SSH by hand. Free upgrade for existing software owners: If you purchased Transcom's SSH dropcatch software in the past, you can upgrade free of charge to the new engine and use this web-based cloud dashboard to manage it remotely. The new engine is a complete rewrite for Nominet's time-release drop process. Built for the modern engine: The dashboard drives the current dropcatch engine, which uses multiple non-blocking EPP sockets and a proprietary algorithm that streams EPP writes in blocks. It surfaces the engine's seven chronological result points and latency computation so you can judge the best moment to fire EPP creates — all from the web interface instead of the console. Ideal for anyone who owns or leases the catching engine and wants a clean, remote way to drive it. Works alongside the Multicore Dropcatch VPS and the owned or leased engine options.

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 DDR4 RAM - 80 GB NVMe 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.
Server Security Analysis is a full security audit of your Linux server, examining every provisioned service for weaknesses, misconfigurations and signs of unauthorised access. £245, with reports delivered by email; the audit requires 7 days. What we audit: - Email services — mail server configuration and exposure. - DNS configuration and zone security. - FTP and file-transfer services. - HTTP / HTTPS web services and TLS configuration. - Control panels and administrative interfaces. - MySQL and other database services. - All other provisioned services on the server. What we look for: - Traces of unauthorised access and signs of prior compromise. - Misconfigurations, weak permissions and exposed services. - Outdated or unpatched software across the stack. - Access-control, firewall and hardening gaps. - Problematic security issues that need addressing. What you receive: Two reports, delivered by email, covering the findings across every service audited — identifying unauthorised access, addressing problematic security issues, and setting out what needs to be done. The audit is thorough and requires 7 days to complete. Who it's for: - Anyone running a Linux server who needs assurance it hasn't been compromised. - Server owners wanting a full hardening review across all services. - Operators investigating suspected unauthorised access.
