.Tel Makes Contact Easy
We’re going to make a quick shout out to one our sponsors Telnic today, to let people know about their new ‘.tel’ service.
A brand new service, .tel allows both individual and business users a chance to own a .tel domain name. The domains are specifically designed to be your point of contact on the net. The service complements rather than competes with email, Twitter, Facebook and all the other ways you can be found and contacted online.
The service has previously only been available to trademark holders, but now anyone can get a domain for cheap. This is a great time to join the .tel service before all the good names are taken.
Take a look at the video below and you’ll see a practical situation where using the service might just come in handy…
You can also combine other personal information such as your address and telephone number in one place. It’s quite impressive being able to give someone a business card that simply has your .tel address and allows the recipient access to a mass of all your important information and projects.
The beauty of .tel lies in its simplicity. Where a normal domain name simply communicates to a website via DNS, .tel has all of its features built right into its own DNS service.
There’s no website to make or maintain, no server to worry about paying for or keeping up; just a simple interface where you can input your details. If you’re worried about privacy, you can also set different levels of protection for your data. Your email address can be available to anyone while your phone number only appears to friends.
