From domains and hosting to email, VPS and security, Transcom has been keeping British businesses online since 1993. As a Nominet-accredited registrar we register and manage your domains, host your sites on fast NVMe infrastructure, and protect your inbox with our own MxGuard antispam — all backed by 24/7 UK support. Power users get more: DNS filtering, domain dropcatching, security forensics, and TDesk, our own hosting control panel that runs the whole lot on our servers or yours.

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.
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.
Website Penetration Testing is a manual ethical-hacking assessment of your website — a real tester probing your site the way an attacker would, which is far more accurate than automated scanning tools alone. £28, with reports delivered by email. What we test for: - Injection flaws — SQL, command and related injection points. - Cross-site scripting (XSS) and cross-site request forgery (CSRF). - Authentication, session and access-control weaknesses. - Security misconfigurations and exposed administrative interfaces. - Outdated software, CMS and component vulnerabilities. - SSL/TLS configuration and certificate issues. - Information disclosure and other common web vulnerabilities. Manual, not just automated: Automated scanners miss logic flaws, chained vulnerabilities and context-specific weaknesses. Manual ethical hacking finds the issues that actually matter — testing your site by hand for far more accurate, real-world results. What you receive: Two reports, both delivered by email: - An executive summary of the threats found, in plain language. - A detailed technical report with the findings and how to resolve them. If you'd prefer not to fix the issues yourself, we can quote separately for the remediation work.

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.
