The .TEL Discussion Thread

Hi

For this, let's assume that .tel will not be a total flop.

What type of keywords will be most valuable for this extension? Will it be geographical keywords, like newyork.tel, losangeles.tel, etc, or what else?

$9.50 Tel registration

Just thought I'd let everyone know that .tel reg fee at Dynadot is $9.50 right now... don't know if it will stay that way forever, or if it's a promo...

Name.com sells .tel for $8.95

I'm glad to see that the cost of hand regs of .tel is going down.

The more, the merrier!

I don't see the fact that .TEL registrations require nameserver locks (so you can only use their VERY limited hosting system) as being fair at all.

Why is it that the .TEL extension is allowed to have nameserver lock?

Is there any chance that this may be changed in the future?

I can't believe people are buying .tels from domainers.. They're so limited..

The point is that .tel is about communications, not websites. If you want to host a website then use a different TLD - there are hundreds to choose from

Is there any chance that this may be changed in the future?

No.

 

[zoogo]

No.

Where do you get this information from

There is no expectation that this should happen. The point of .tel is for (tele)communications, whereas .com et al are for websites. Two worlds with different dimensions and properties. Think of the HTTP TelProxy as a wormhole that offers a little glimpse from one world into the other.

I'm sorry if this doesn't satisfy you, but there are hundreds of other TLDs that you can use for websites (and more on the way!)

nudu, there is a TelHosting accreditation process that essentially says: any .tel domain MUST be manageable via an interface which MUST expose a full implementation of the TelHosting API specs.
That's it. You're not bound to the "very limited" UI of the Telnic-provided TelHosting, buy you're bound to the APIs.

Basically, we want to ENSURE that ANY application written to the TelHosting API specs will work for any .tel domain, whichever registrar/reseller you bought it from. In other words, you shouldn't care which app you use to manage your .tel, it's guaranteed to work for your .tel.

How's that for fairness?

If you were asking "why can't I use my .tel as a regular domain?", the answer is of course "because it's a different product". It's like asking "why can't I use my Formula 1 race car to go to work?"

Not bad... This looks like some type of affiliate program which will pay publishers a percentage of the sales, orders.

It would also be better if these brands matched the primary URL.
