What is .Tel?
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. Simple, fast and accessible from any devices especially mobile phones, the .Tel provides a new Internet standard to take full control over how and where people reach you.

Moreover, the .Tel is the cheapest way of improving your Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Unlike all other domains, the .Tel has very specific and unique content that is published directly in the DNS rather than the website. That makes it easily read and indexed by search engines, strengthening your presence in search results. This important SEO function will help drive traffic to your website and open more new avenues to monetize your .Tel domains in the coming months.
