SmartDNS unlocks 400+ geo-restricted streaming services worldwide by transparently routing your DNS queries through UK servers — making streaming services believe you're in a different region, instantly, with zero speed loss. £3.79 per month, no contract. Faster than a VPN: SmartDNS works at the DNS layer — there's no VPN tunnel, no speed overhead and no app to install. You change two DNS addresses and you're done. Unlike a VPN, SmartDNS only routes the DNS lookup; your actual streaming data travels directly from the streaming server to your device at full speed, with no tunnelling or encryption overhead. That's why it has zero impact on streaming quality. What you get: - Unlock 400+ services — Netflix US, BBC iPlayer, Hulu, Disney+, Amazon Prime, DAZN, Sky Go and hundreds more, regardless of where you are. - Full-speed streaming with no buffering penalty from tunnelling. - Works on Smart TVs and every device — Apple TV, Chromecast, Fire TV, consoles, phones, tablets, laptops and routers. - Change your apparent location — appear to be in the UK, US, Germany, Japan, Australia and more, switched instantly via your DNS settings. - No logs, no data — we don't log your browsing, store query history or share any data. - Whole-network coverage — set it on your router and every device in your home is covered, with no per-device setup. - Setup in seconds — two DNS addresses, no software, no certificates, no VPN clients. - No contract — month-to-month billing, cancel any time, full UK support included. How it works: When you access a geo-restricted site, your device first does a DNS lookup to translate the domain into an IP address. SmartDNS intercepts only those DNS queries for geo-sensitive domains and returns responses that route the connection through our UK proxy infrastructure. Using SNI (Server Name Indication) proxy technology, the streaming service sees a valid connection originating from the correct region — without any VPN tunnel, encryption overhead or IP masking of your main connection. Built for reliability: The service runs on a dual UK server architecture with automatic failover — your subscription gives you access to both primary and secondary servers simultaneously. We continuously update our routing tables as streaming services change their geo-detection methods, so your DNS addresses never change but the backend adapts to keep services working. Supported platforms: - Windows, macOS, Linux - Android and iOS - Samsung, LG and Sony Smart TVs - Apple TV, Chromecast, Fire TV - PlayStation and Xbox - Home routers (set once, covers all devices) - DHCP server configuration Trusted by thousands: 8,500+ active subscribers, 400+ streaming services, two UK redundant servers, and 24/7 UK support from real engineers. Pair SmartDNS with our Deep Packet Filter to block adverts, malware and tracking at the same time.
Leased TAG Owner Access lets you catch dropping Nominet domains under your own IPS TAG, cutting the capital cost of building a catching operation while settling registrations with Nominet directly at the preferential registrar rate. £89/month. The idea: Rather than buy the engine outright or pay per-catch fees, you lease access and run catches against your own Nominet TAG. Caught domains land directly on your TAG, and you pay Nominet their registrar rate — keeping your costs low and your domains under your own control from the moment they're caught. What's included: - Catch dropping Nominet domains under your own IPS TAG. - Settle registrations directly with Nominet at the preferential registrar rate. - Web-based front end to manage your domains and submissions. - The full current catching engine — multi-socket, non-blocking EPP, time-release aware. - We install and configure the software for you. Who it's for: - Nominet registrars who hold their own TAG and want a proven catching engine without building one. - Anyone wanting to cut the capital cost of dropcatching while retaining direct Nominet settlement. You bring the TAG; we provide and run the catching engine. The software is a complete rewrite for Nominet's time-release process, configured and maintained for you, so you can focus on choosing which domains to chase.
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.
