Redirect Your Defensive .Tel Domains
Defensive domain registrations can be quite “painful” to manage. If you’re trying to protect your brand or identity online you can easily end up registering quite a few alternatives to your main domain. With “normal” domain names this isn’t too much of an issue to manage, as you can point one domain at another, so [...]

How To Backup (and restore) Your .tel Data
Click to Play If you are transferring your .tel domain name from one registrar to another you will need to make a backup of the domain data first. Once the domain has been transferred to the new registrar you will need to import the contact data into the new registrar’s “slice” on the telhosting platform

DotTel (.tel) Now Live
If I hadn’t warned people in advance I might feel mildly guilty about all these domain related announcements .. If you’re a regular reader you may have noticed that I have a small passion for the .tel namespace. I think the concept behind .tel is very cool and if there is enough “buy in” it [...]
Blackberry and iPhone Users – dotTel Apps Now Available

If you have either device you can grab the software on the Telnic downloads site (mobile accessible) I’d love to know how people get [...]

So You Got A .Tel Domain – Now What?
General registrations for .tel have been open for the last couple of days and it’s been interesting to see the level of interest being shown. Of course not everyone is going to take to .tel immediately, but it’s interesting to see what people are doing with their .tel domains… We’ve got our main brand up [...]
