Dot TEL – Here is All You Need to Know About the New Top Level Domain
.tel is the newest top level domain on the block, and it is a whole new concept inside top level domains. Normally a top level domain is forwarded to your web site, but this technologic break-through sees domains in a totally different way.
Let me explain the facts:
When you need to contact a company today, what do you do? Using Google or going directly to the web site of the company are the two normal possibilities, but this does not mean that you will find the contact data easily.
The aim of .tel is to create a global online directory where yourcompany.tel is the site, where any user can see the ways to contact you. You can list the common contact forms such as Skype, messenger, tel/fax, email. It is also possible to have contact data of local branches. Speaking out of experience this will be especially helpful when you look for your local bank!
yourcompany.tel will be indexed in the search engines as well.
As an extra bonus you can insert keywords describing your business, so apart from being a directory it is also a search engine.
Your site will be hosted by the .tel team, and you can edit your contact data and keywords in real time.
The Sunrise phase for trademark holders opened on the 2nd of Dec., so if you have a trademark then you are eligible. The less fortunate have to wait until February 2009.
I expect .tel to be a reference address when searching for company contact data, so don磘 miss the train.
Don磘 wait with your application. Only the first applicant will obtain the domain, and with 70 charters of trademarks it is possible that someone else has the same trademark name as you.
