Now Accepting Landrush Registrations
Tell the world how to find you with .Tel domains!
The .Tel is an innovative gTLD domain name that allows businesses and individuals alike to store and manage all their contact information and keywords directly in the DNS without the need to build, host or manage a website. This stands in contrast to the typical use of the DNS for other TLDs, in which the DNS only provides a mapping between domain names and IP addresses.
