ControlDeskPanel
Servers, domains, vhosts, TLS, mail and users. It creates the document root, issues the certificate and runs the mail.
controldeskpanel.comPlatform
Three products, one platform.
ControlDeskPanel is the base the other two stand on. It creates what they need and stays out of what they do.
CDPCMS
The content system: authoring on Laravel 13, delivery as a flat site with no framework in the request path.
cdpcms.comCDPGuard
The PowerFirewall: packet filtering and intrusion defence in front of every site the platform serves. A licensable module of the panel.
cdpguard.comWho answers for what
Names are answered by CTPFDNS on authoritative nameservers operated by CertThor PlatForms Ltd. The certificate, HSTS, HTTP/3 and the mail for a domain come from ControlDeskPanel. The packet filter is CDPGuard. The content is CDPCMS. Availability is measured from outside by UptimeRobot.org.
Where the panel stops
ControlDeskPanel creates document roots; it does not write content into them, and it does not decide what a firewall rule should be. Each product owns its own job, which is the only way a fault can be pinned down instead of passed around.
Two layers of security, clearly separated
CDPGuard is a product: a firewall that runs on the server. CyberGuard is a services division: audits, monitoring, cloud and compliance, carried out by people. They share a family name and nothing else.
