Guides, references and troubleshooting for TDesk.

Welcome to TDesk

TDesk is a cloud-hosted control panel for running web hosting, email, domains and online shops — without buying a separate VPS, a separate panel licence, and a separate SSL service. Everything is bundled into one monthly price, on our servers or yours.

What's included

  • Web hosting — nginx + PHP-FPM, MySQL & PostgreSQL, per-customer isolation
  • Four hosting modes per domain — Website, Forwarding, No hosting and Shop
  • Email — mailboxes, aliases, forwarders, autoresponders, webmail
  • DNS — three authoritative nameservers, plus secondary DNS
  • SSL — free Let's Encrypt certs, auto-renewed
  • Domains — Nominet-accredited registrar; register .uk domains directly
  • Domain parking — branded for-sale and holding pages from templates
  • Dropcatch — catch expiring .uk / .co.uk domains, pay on success
  • Ecommerce — full storefront with ten themes, cart, checkout, Stripe & PayPal, and Shop SEO
  • Backups — scheduled, encrypted off-site, 30-day retention
  • File manager — browser-based with drag-drop upload and per-customer SFTP
  • The server — we run it for you, or bring your own (Superuser)
  • MXGuard — AI antispam on every domain's mail, free
  • Veritus — signup-fraud screening, free
  • Security — fail2ban, WAF, firewall, two-factor auth

See the full breakdown on What's included. New accounts start on a 14-day free trial — the full panel and every feature, nothing charged until you pick a plan.
