Should I buy the Owned Engine or lease instead?

Transcom offers the same catching engine three ways, so pick by how you want to run it:

• Owned Engine (£665 one-time) — you host it on your own Linux server, under your own TAG, no monthly fee. Best when your catching is steady and you are happy managing a server.
• Leased Dedicated Server (£149/month) — we install and run the engine on a dedicated server for you, positioned for low round-trip time. Best for serious volume or premium names without the upfront cost or server admin.
• Leased TAG Owner Access (£89/month) — we run the engine; you catch under your own TAG and settle with Nominet directly.

Owning wins on long-run cost; leasing wins on convenience and on getting dedicated horsepower without a big outlay.
