Quick start

Get a domain hosted on TDesk in 10 minutes. This walkthrough assumes you've already signed up and you have a domain name registered somewhere.

Step 1 — Add the domain

From the panel sidebar, click Domains → Add domain. Enter the domain name, tick which services you want (web, mail, DNS are all on by default), and click Add.

Behind the scenes a chain of jobs runs: DNS zone created, DKIM key generated, mail wired up, vhost deployed, SSL cert issued. Takes about 10 seconds.

Step 2 — Point your DNS

At your domain registrar (Nominet, GoDaddy, Namecheap etc.), update the nameservers for the domain to:

ns1.tdesk.uk
ns2.tdesk.uk
ns3.tdesk.uk

Nameserver changes can take a few hours to propagate worldwide.

Step 3 — Create mailboxes

Go to Mail → Mailboxes, click Add mailbox, give it a username and password. Use these credentials in any IMAP client (Apple Mail, Outlook, Thunderbird, K-9 on Android).

Step 4 — Upload your site

Open Files, navigate to {your-domain}/httpdocs, drag your site files in. Or connect via SFTP using your TDesk username (visible in your account settings).

Step 5 — You're live
