.TEL Domain Names

As we are ICANN Accreditied Registrars, all your applications for a .tel domain will be submitted directly to the .tel registry, once the registry opens.
Only ICANN Accredited Registrars are allowed to submit application for registration directly to the .tel registry.

If you apply today we will....

1. Reserve a place in our queue for your domain name.
2. Hold this domain name for you and apply once the registry goes live.
3. We will only accept one application for each stage of the application process, securing your place in our queue.
4. We will charge you the non-refundable reservation fee and will not charge you the registration fee until successfully registered.
5. We will NOT run any form of auction.

How will .tel work? .tel is unlike any other domain Find out more.

Why do we charge a reservation fee?
Because we are only taking 1 application for each stage of the process and not running an auction, our queue is open to abuse. A small fee per domain name will enable us to to recover the cost of the programming and development of our system. It ensures your domain request reaches the registry at the earliest possible moment, once the registry opens.

Check Availability and Apply

Note: No guarantees of sucess can be supplied, we can only operate on a best effort basis. Applying for a domain name prior to the release date on December 3rd does not guarantee that you will get the name you requested. Anyone can apply for the same.tel domain (either with us, or with another .tel approved registrar) You can however, increase your chances of getting the domain you want by applying for the.tel name on our pre-registration application form today.
