What is a .TEL?
.Tel is a service that allows individuals and businesses alike to store and manage their contact information and keywords directly in the DNS without the need to build, host, or manage a website.
How does the .TEL work?
Unlike traditional TLDs that map domain names to IP addresses, the .tel maps domain names to contact information (personal and corporate) and keywords that are stored directly, making it universally accessible.
.TEL Highlights
A .tel domain is a perfect solution for the digital nomad in all of us. No matter where you travel, where you move, or where you work, your friends, family, clients, and business associates can instantly find the best way to contact you.
.Tel domains are great for businesses too. The content on a business's .tel site can easily be customized to let customers drill down to find contact and location information specific to one office.
All .tel domains are ad-free, and just like a regular telephone number, you control who has your .tel address. Using built-in privacy controls, you determine who has access to your information. Easily create profiles to distinguish between business and personal contacts. Give your business contacts access to your work information while your personal contacts see your home telephone number and private email address.
Boost Your Business
A .tel domain is a perfect solution for businesses of all sizes. No matter if you're a global company with local offices or a local company looking to grow globally, a .tel domain puts contact information at your customers' fingertips.
In addition to including your company's basic contact information on your .tel site, you can create a hierarchical data structure, enabling customers to visit your .tel address and drill down to find the contact information most pertinent to their needs.
Customers can access your company information from any Internet-enabled device. If they're on the run and all they have is their cell phone, no problem! They can type YourCompany.tel into their phone browser and instantly your information is displayed.
Express Your Individuality
No matter how you choose to stay in contact with the world you can post all your contact information to one easily accessible place. No matter how often you move, change jobs, change your phone number, or update your favorite Web links, your friends and family will have immediate access to your latest information.
Protect Your Privacy
.Tel not only gives you the flexibility to update your contact information on the fly, it also lets you control what information is publicly viewable. For instance, you can choose to make portions of your contact information completely open to the public, while other information, such as your mobile phone number and email address, is marked as private and made accessible only to the individuals you choose.
You can even segment which individuals have access to different pieces of your private information. For instance, give your best friend access to your entire contact portfolio, while limiting your boss to your mailing address and phone number.
