.TEL Domain Names
Why should I register a .TEL domain name?
The .TEL TLD is different from all other TLDs previous. This is not another .COM, .NET, .ORG, or ccTLD. DotTEL is not about website content; it is about allowing individuals and businesses to store their information in DNS without having to build, host, or maintain a website. This is the mother of all phone books. Your .TEL will function as an all-encompassing contact point for your life. Here are just a few ideas of what this can include:
- Contact Info – Mobile, Landline, VoIP, Instant Messaging
- Content Links – Websites, Blogs, Social Networks
- Identities – Gaming Platforms, Social Networks
- Geolocation – Maps for Work, Home, Favorite Restaurant
- Indexable Text – General Information, Keywords
What about hosting a .TEL?
The .TEL domain is different from all domains before. Because they are meant to be a sort of yellow pages, you will not be able to develop a normal web page. All .TEL pages must be hosted through TelNic and located upon their name servers. If you have an account with another web host, you will not be able to add your .TEL domain to that account.
