From domains and hosting to email, VPS and security, Transcom has been keeping British businesses online since 1993. As a Nominet-accredited registrar we register and manage your domains, host your sites on fast NVMe infrastructure, and protect your inbox with our own MxGuard antispam — all backed by 24/7 UK support. Power users get more: DNS filtering, domain dropcatching, security forensics, and TDesk, our own hosting control panel that runs the whole lot on our servers or yours.
Hosting, servers, email security and domain tools.
Handpicked just for you
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 - Outdated software, CMS and component vulnerabilities.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.
TDesk Starter — Get online today. Everything you need for personal projects and a handful of client sites. Same panel, same features and same server quality as Pro — just sized right for getting started. £8/month. This tier includes: - Disk: 10 GB - Domains: 3 - Mailboxes: 15 - Databases: 2 - Subdomains: 10 - Domain aliases: 5 - Email aliases: 10 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.
Received a toxic, persistently annoying or criminally actionable email? The Email Forensic Report compiles a complete evidence report from the message's headers and metadata — tracing where it really came from, how it was sent, and whether it has been spoofed or forged. £7 per report, delivered by email. What we examine: - Full header trace — every routing hop the message passed through, in order. - True originating IP address and geographic location of the genuine sender. - Spoofing and forgery techniques used to disguise the real source. - Sender authentication results — SPF, DKIM and DMARC checks. - From / Reply-To / Return-Path consistency and any mismatches. - Indicators of phishing, impersonation or automated/bulk origin. What you receive: A complete evidence report detailing all routing hops, any spoofing tricks employed, the true sender IP and full location — written so it stands as evidence. The report is structured to be admissible, making it suitable for use in disputes, complaints to providers, or onward action. How to use it: - Identify the real source behind an anonymous or spoofed message. - Support a complaint to an ISP, employer, platform or the authorities. - Establish an evidence trail for harassment, fraud or threatening emails. You forward us the email in question; we analyse the raw headers and metadata and return the full forensic report by email.
The Leased Dedicated Server is a dedicated catching resource for serious and high-volume dropcatching — your own server running the Transcom dropcatch engine, installed and configured for you, with the resources to pursue premium and hard-to-catch names. £149/month. What you get: - A dedicated server resource allocated to your catching, not shared. - The full Transcom dropcatch engine installed and configured for you. - Multi-core capacity to run many non-blocking EPP sockets in parallel. - Positioned for low round-trip time to the Nominet backend for competitive drops. - Web-based front end to manage domains and monitor results. Built for premium names: Single-mode and premium catches need more resources than a shared catch — short and three-character names, high-value domains and heavily contested drops all benefit from a dedicated engine firing on its own server. Leasing gives you that horsepower on a monthly basis instead of a large upfront purchase. We install and configure everything: The current engine is a complete rewrite for Nominet's time-release process (PHP 7.4, UTC/Zulu timing), using a proprietary algorithm that streams EPP writes in blocks across multiple non-blocking sockets. We set it all up for you, so the server arrives ready to catch. Ideal for registrars and domainers running serious catching volume, or anyone targeting premium names where dedicated resources make the difference between a catch and a miss.
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.
