What is TDesk?

TDesk is Transcom's UK-hosted cloud hosting control panel — but unlike Plesk or cPanel, it bundles the panel, the server, the storage and the bandwidth into a single monthly price and automates the work of running them. There's no separate VPS to rent, no registrar account to hold elsewhere, and no billing licence to buy.

A panel that provisions itself Add a domain and, in under ten seconds, TDesk 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. A pre-flight DNS check means 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 spam-protected, before it can receive a single message.

Real per-customer isolation Every customer is a genuine UNIX user on the box. PHP runs as that user and files are owned by them — proper operating-system-level separation, not a shared "nobody" account.

Security and mail, built in and free Inbound mail passes through MxGuard, Transcom's own AI mail gateway (a LightGBM classifier inside a full DNSBL/URIBL/SPF/DKIM/DMARC/ARC pipeline with ClamAV virus scanning). Veritus risk-scores new signups to catch fraud. fail2ban, a WAF, a firewall and two-factor authentication are layered in.

Everything else nginx with PHP-FPM, MySQL and PostgreSQL; four hosting modes per domain (Website, Forwarding, No hosting, Shop); a full ecommerce storefront; scheduled encrypted off-site backups with 30-day retention and one-click restore; a browser file manager with per-customer SFTP; and — as a Nominet-accredited registrar — direct .uk registration, domain parking and dropcatch.

Run it on our UK cloud with the server included, or point TDesk at your own AlmaLinux 9 box for the same price with no per-server licence fee. Every tier can resell.

Built and operated by Transcom, running UK hosting since 1993. No contract — pay monthly, cancel any time, unused days refunded.
