Hosting, servers, email security and domain tools.
Handpicked just for you
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.
TDesk Single Domain — One site, no fuss. Perfect for a single company website or freelancer. Everything you need for one site — mail, DNS, SSL and backups — at an impulse-buy price. £4/month. This tier includes: - Disk: 3 GB - Domains: 1 - Mailboxes: 5 - Databases: 2 - Subdomains: 2 - Domain aliases: 2 - Email aliases: 2 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.
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.
