Peculiarities of a .TEL Domain Name

  • A .TEL domain name provides the ability to store, publish and manage contact information and keywords directly in the Domain Name System (DNS), the hierarchical system by which easy-to-remember, human-friendly names such as somedomain.com are associated with Internet locations.
     
  • Web Hosting of a .TEL domain name is quite different from hosting of other domain name extensions. A .TEL domain name requires some specific Name Servers and these would be assigned by Dinsol.Co.In at the time of domain name registration itself. These Name Servers CANNOT be modified.
     
  • Child Name Servers cannot be registered under a .TEL domain name. For example, if you have a .TEL domain name Registered as yourdomainname.tel, you cannot register Child Name Server under it such as ns1.yourdomainname.tel, ns2.yourdomainname.tel, etc..
     
  • Once a .TEL domain name is registered, Dinsol.Co.In would send login details to access the .TEL Hosting Control Panel. A step-by-step instruction manual for your .TEL Hosting Control Panel is available at http://telnic.org/downloads/telguide.pdf. There is no need for a separate Web Hosting package for a .TEL domain name.
     
  • Once you have registered a .TEL domain name, you are required to submit at least one communications contact such as a telephone number, an email address, an instant-messaging handle or a web link associated with you. In the absence of this, the .TEL domain name would not resolve.
     
  • If the Registrant of a .TEL domain name is an individual, he/she has an option not to have his/her personal information displayed in the Whois. The Registrant can choose to have this option enabled/disabled at the time of Registration.

    However, if the Registrant of a .TEL domain name is an Organization, then the complete Contact details are displayed in the Whois.
