At Domainmonster.com we’re gearing up for what’s going to be our biggest and most successful domain name launch yet. We’ve completed the direct accreditation process for the new .tel TLD with the Telnic Registry and are excited about the potential of these innovative and unique domains. The .tel domain is unlike any before, it allows you to store, update and publish all of your contact information in real time directly onto the internet. There’s no websites and no hosting charges, .tel domain names are mapped to contact information and keywords that are stored directly in the DNS system, making it universally accessible. It allows individuals, companies and organisations to provide contact information just by giving their .tel domain, when your address details and phone numbers change your .tel domain name remains the same. The friending features further ensure maximum privacy for those who want it, allowing you full control over who views your data and how much they see.

The .tel registry Telnic will be accepting the first registration for Sunrise Applications from trademark holders at 15:00 GMT on the 3rd December, 2008. There are no reserved names and no auctions at any stage. Each and every .tel domain is being registered on a first come first served basis. Domainmonster.com has experienced well documented success in recent TLD launches, this year alone we were the 2nd largest registrar worldwide for .asia domains at go live and top 3 for the .me launches. At the Pre-Order stage of the .asia launch more than 91% of applications were successful and more than 85% during the .me launch. Some registrars weren’t taking live registrations until 2 hours after the .asia launch. We’d processed our domain name registration pre-orders within 3 minutes of opening.

Domainmonster.com is offering customers the unique opportunity to secure valuable .tel domain names using our pre-order service, meaning your application will reach the registry within seconds of the launch of each stage. We won’t take more than one order for each .tel domain name at each stage and there’s nothing to pay if you don’t win your domain. There really is nothing to lose! We’ll be taking pre-orders for all stages of the launch from the 4th November, 2008, so sign up quickly for the best chance of securing your .tel domain name!

We’ll be keeping you updated with all the latest news and info at each stage of the .tel launch. For more information on what makes this TLD so different, the stages and dates for launch and pricing information visit .tel Domain pages or contact us support@domainmonster.com.
