As a direct result of your feedback, Telnic has successfully negotiated the lifting of usage restrictions from your .tel domain.

This freedom of choice has been a recurring request from community members and we are delighted to now offer you this option.

A new Telhosting platform
We are also marking this giant milestone in .tel’s history by providing our community with an optional, new and modernised Telhosting platform. The new platform has been designed based on extensive community feedback and usage patterns observed with the current system.
Staying true to our sponsored status, .tel is the universally recognised web address for publishing contact details online and is still primarily intended to serve the needs of individuals and businesses that wish to store their contact information using the DNS. On this basis, the new Telhosting platform offers you a compact, feature rich, single page solution to hosting and publishing your very own digital profile. Your new site can be totally managed using our new and free iPhone and Android smartphone apps or using our new desktop control panel and all for the same competitively low annual subscription fee.
We have set up an example digital profile page at http://telpage.tel for you to get a better feel for how you can leverage the functionality of the new platform to create a great looking tel. With lots of new features such as more advanced custom design capability, PayPal integration, voucher and offers, PDF publishing and image library, we know you are going to enjoy and benefit from the new product experience to create a richer more customized and contemporary digital profile.
Retiring the current Telhosting platform
As a result of launching our new Telhosting platform, we will be retiring the current Telhosting platform and there will be certain features such as sub domains, search and data privacy which will not be available in the new platform. Our attached FAQ provides a more detailed list of the differences between the current and new platforms.
We feel that our new platform offers you incredible value for money and is a great entry level hosting solution for establishing and managing your own digital identity and being found in search. If however, you feel that this new product is not for you then that is fine too and you will soon be able to utilize your .tel domain for other purposes of your choosing.
Please Note: The API call 'Getting TEL CTH Login Details' will change post 13th March, 2017. However, all other calls including registration call will remain the same. Please refer to the knowledgebase for more information.
