TDesk Premium — For resellers and providers. For resellers and hosting providers managing many sites. Generous quotas, client plans to bundle quotas for end-users, and the same panel scaled up. £45/month. This tier includes: - Disk: 100 GB - Domains: 30 - Mailboxes: 150 - Databases: 30 - Subdomains: 100 - Domain aliases: 100 - Email aliases: 200 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.
The Legacy 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. £445 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.
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.
