Hosting, servers, email security and domain tools.
Handpicked just for you
The Owned Engine is a one-time purchase of the Transcom dropcatch software outright — your own licensed copy of the engine to install and run on your own Linux server, catching dropping domains from any registrar that uses the EPP / DAC XML process. £665 one-time. What the software does: The engine catches dropping domain names from registrars using the EPP / DAC XML process — around 80 countries operate one. The configuration file comes pre-configured with Nominet parameters, making it ready to use straight away for any Nominet registrar. Once you own it, there are no monthly fees — you run it on your own infrastructure under your own TAG. Modern time-release engine: The current software is a complete rewrite for Nominet's time-release drop process (introduced September 2022), while remaining compatible with the older DAC/EPP method. Key features: - Multiple non-blocking EPP sockets — all scripts run multi-socket and non-blocking. - A proprietary algorithm that streams EPP writes in blocks for tighter timing. - Seven chronological result points to help you judge the best moment to send EPP creates. - Latency computation displayed on the login screen. - Post-check registration — register a name if the catch timing missed the slot but the domain became available. How you run it: - Requires PHP 7.4.x with the server set to UTC/Zulu time (all drop times are in Zulu). - run.php — single domain, non-blocking mode. - robin.php — round-robin mode, multiple domains read from a flatfile list, fully automated. - Several additional utilities are provided, plus nightly Nominet droplist downloads. Own it outright: Install via SSH on your own Linux server using your EPP password, Account ID and licence key. Existing SSH-software owners can upgrade to the new engine. A one-time purchase with no recurring fees — settle caught domains with Nominet directly at your own registrar rate. Leased options are also available if you'd prefer not to buy.
TDesk Enterprise — Scale without limits. High-volume hosting for agencies and resellers managing many client sites. Big quotas, priority support, and the headroom to consolidate an entire hosting business onto one panel. £185/month. This tier includes: - Disk: 500 GB - Domains: 150 - Mailboxes: 750 - Databases: 150 - Subdomains: 500 - Domain aliases: 500 - Email aliases: 1000 About TDesk: TDesk is a UK-hosted cloud hosting control panel that does something Plesk and cPanel don't — it bundles the panel, the server, the storage and the bandwidth into a single monthly price, then automates the work of running them. There's no VPS to rent separately, no registrar account to hold elsewhere, no WHMCS licence to buy for billing. You add a domain and the whole hosting chain provisions itself; everything below is included on every tier, with the tier setting only your quotas. A panel that provisions itself: Most panels hand you a checklist. TDesk runs the chain for you. Enter a domain and, in under ten seconds, it deploys a full DNS zone across three nameservers, generates and publishes a DKIM keypair, wires mailboxes with SPF and DMARC, attaches AI spam filtering, deploys the web vhost under an isolated Linux user, and issues a live Let's Encrypt certificate — with a pre-flight DNS check so a rate-limit is never burned on a zone that isn't pointing at us yet. The domain is live on HTTPS, sending authenticated mail and protected from spam, before it can receive a single message. Each step is idempotent and retryable, so provisioning is reliable rather than a sequence of things that can half-finish. Real per-customer isolation: Every customer is a genuine UNIX user on the box. PHP runs as that user, and files are mode 0640 owned by them — no shared "nobody" account, no reading across accounts. This is proper operating-system-level separation, not a soft convention, which matters the moment you host more than your own sites. AI mail security, built in and free: Inbound mail on every domain passes through MxGuard, Transcom's own AI gateway. A LightGBM classifier (0.988 AUC) sits inside a full DNSBL / URIBL / SPF / DKIM / DMARC / ARC pipeline, backed by ClamAV virus scanning, quarantine and per-domain sender rules. It's attached automatically during provisioning and costs nothing extra — spam filtering that would be a separate paid product elsewhere is simply part of the platform. Fraud screening on every signup, free: Veritus risk-scores new signups before an account goes live, using email, phone, country and IP signals to catch throwaway and high-risk registrations automatically. It protects both you and any customers you go on to host — particularly valuable if you resell. Hosting done properly across the board: Web hosting runs on nginx with PHP-FPM, MySQL and PostgreSQL, created and managed from the panel with browser-based admin. Each domain can run in one of four modes — Website, Forwarding, No hosting or Shop. DNS is served from three authoritative nameservers (a primary plus two geo-distributed secondaries) with full record editing. SSL is free Let's Encrypt, auto-renewed. As a Nominet-accredited registrar, TDesk registers .uk domains directly — and adds domain parking with branded for-sale and holding pages, plus dropcatch to catch expiring .uk / .co.uk domains on a pay-on-success basis. A real shop, not a bolt-on: The ecommerce module is a full storefront — ten themes, cart, checkout, Stripe and PayPal, and built-in Shop SEO — so a hosted domain can become a working online shop without a separate platform. Backups, files and security: Backups are scheduled, encrypted and stored off-site with 30-day retention and one-click restore of any file, mailbox, database or full site. The browser-based file manager supports drag-drop upload and per-customer SFTP. Security is layered in — fail2ban, a WAF, firewall and two-factor authentication. Run it our way or yours: Use our UK cloud with the server included, or point TDesk at your own clean AlmaLinux 9 box — connect it once with a bootstrap token and the same provisioning chain runs on your hardware, same panel, same price, no per-server licence fee. Every tier can resell: create customers with their own logins and quotas and bill them however you like; TDesk just runs the platform. UK-hosted and GDPR-aligned, built and operated by Transcom — running UK hosting since 1993. No contract: pay monthly, cancel any time, unused days refunded. Ring up and someone who actually knows hosting answers.
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. Starter — for growing SaaS & small e-commerce: - 10,000 checks / month - Everything in Free - Customer-specific model layer - Webhooks (5 endpoints) - 5 domains, unlimited forms - 90-day verdict history - Allow/block rules + review queue - Email support Overage: £3.50 per 1,000 extra checks.
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.
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.
