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 and running with a .tel domain. If you explore it you will see how we’ve setup separate sections for our UK and US clients for example. We will, naturally, be adding more links and contact data over the next while.

But what of our clients? What we do with a .tel isn’t that relevant. What is relevant is seeing how our clients take the .tel concept and make it their own.

Of course the real power of .tel only really starts to kickin when you start actively using it with your existing devices and software. You can get some software to play around with directly from the TelNic site where they have provided software / plugins for:

Unfortunately there isn’t anything available for OSX at the moment, but I’m sure someone will produce something before too long …

If you want to play around with a .tel then grab one now – we’re doing them for a mere EUR15 / year ex-vat
