.TEL Top Level Domains Coming Soon
TUCKER USA, 10 November 2008- - Comtrends, a leading Internet consulting and
hosting firm, announced today that it would be participating in the launch of the
new .TEL top level Internet domain this fall. .TEL will soon join other well-known
top level domains such as .COM, .NET, and .ORG, and Comtrends will be one of the first
providers to sell names under .TEL.
"We're very pleased to be able to offer this to our customers," said Robert
Honerkamp, president of Comtrends. ".TEL is completely different from other domains, and
provides a unique solution to companies and individuals looking to help others find
their contact information."
While domains under .COM, .NET, .ORG, and other existing top level domains
require that domain owners buy hosting accounts to fully use their domain, .TEL domains
require no hosting. An Internet user browsing to a company's .TEL domain would be
able to find contact information for a company, such as their telephone number, email
address, web site, and other information that company chose to provide. Essentially,
.TEL is a "phone book" for the Internet.
.TEL domains will be sold in three phases. The first phase begins on 3 December
2008 and runs through 2 February 2009. During this first "sunrise" phase, registrations
will only be sold to trademark holders. Sunrise pricing is $350 for three year
registrations. After the close of this phase, a "landrush" phase begins on 3 February
2009 that allows people to purchase .TEL domains at a premium
price through 23 March 2009. On 24 March, .TEL domains will be available at their normal
price.
