Peculiarities of a .TEL Domain Name

• A .TEL domain name provides the ability to store, publish and manage contact information and keywords directly in the Domain Name System (DNS), the hierarchical system by which easy-to-remember, human-friendly names such as somedomain.com are associated with Internet locations.
   
• If the Registrant of a .TEL domain name is an individual, he/she has an option not to have his/her personal information displayed in the Whois. The Registrant can choose to have this option enabled/disabled at the time of Registration.
  
  However, if the Registrant of a .TEL domain name is an Organization, then the complete Contact details are displayed in the Whois. Click here to read how to hide/publish Contact Details in the Whois of a .TEL domain name >>
   
• Web Hosting of a .TEL domain name is quite different from hosting of other domain name extensions. A .TEL domain name requires some specific Name Servers and these would be assigned by Scubez.Net at the time of domain name registration itself. These Name Servers CANNOT be modified.
   
• When a .TEL domain name is registered, the system automatically creates an account for accessing the .TEL Hosting Control Panel and sends the login details to the Registrant Contact. A step-by-step instruction manual for your .TEL Hosting Control Panel is available at http://telnic.org/downloads/telguide.pdf. There is no need for a separate Web Hosting package for a .TEL domain name.

• MX Records required for Email Hosting on a .TEL domain name can be managed from the Domain Management interface, within your Control Panel. Click here to read more about MX Record management for a .TEL domain name >>
   
• Child Name Servers cannot be registered under a .TEL domain name. For example, if you have a .TEL domain name Registered as yourdomainname.tel, you cannot register Child Name Server under it such as ns1.yourdomainname.tel, ns2.yourdomainname.tel, etc..
   
• Once you have registered a .TEL domain name, you are required to submit at least one communications contact such as a telephone number, an email address, an instant-messaging handle or a web link associated with you. In the absence of this, the .TEL domain name would not resolve.
   
• Apart from the domain name, you may create up to 2999 sub-domains (Folders) on a .TEL domain name through the .TEL Hosting Control Panel. Each such Folder can store a maximum of 100 records.
  
  For example, you may create upto 2999 sub-domains such as yourdomain.tel, sales.yourdomain.tel, support.yourdomain.tel, billing.yourdomain.tel, etc. and upto 100 records for every sub-domain.
   
• You can create a backup of the data on your .TEL domain name and later restore it using this backup, from within your .TEL Hosting Control Panel. Click here to know how >>
