Dot Tel Domains--an Explanation
A Dot Tel Domain is an internet second level domain name combined with a top level domain (TLD) extension
. The extension is '.tel' or just 'tel'. This TLD is also referred to here as 'dottel', 'dot tel', or 'dot-tel'.
Dot Tel is sponsored by the Telnic company in the United Kingdom. They do not register domain names themselves, but are the original and current promoters of the TLD. It was released publicly for registrations on 24th March, 2009. Around 250,000 Dot Tels in total have been registered. Prior to that public registration date there were many pre-sales at higher prices of good or branded names. There are still many highly searched keywords available today, however.
The original Telnic idea is not new, but has only now become a reality. Telnic applied for approval of the Dot Tel TLD about nine years ago. It is unique among all TLDs (which include the extensions.com,.net, and.org, and many others). The data on a Dot Tel is stored in the internet's Domain Name System (DNS) which is the same place that the IP addresses of computers are stored. The DNS is available globally.
Whether they be phone numbers, email addresses, web pages, mobile phone numbers, company switchboard numbers, or a host of other contact types they can be stored on this domain and web site.
Retrieving data with a web browser from the DNS is faster than retrieving data from the rest of the internet. Most data outside the DNS is high in content including colour, graphics, text, and images. These high content pages slow data retrieval down significantly when compared to data coming from the DNS.
When purchasing a dottel domain the buyer can chose from three characters to 63 characters. Itl can have digits and/or letters but must not have only digits. The letters can be from "a-z" and "A-Z". This gives owners a lot of flexibility when choosing a domain name.
Apart from the Dot Tel name and contact details it has places to put keywords. Firstly, there is the title of the page. This is an important position for keywords for Search Engine Optimization (SEO).
Secondly, there are the keywords that appear in the header of the web page. The header keywords can be up to 255 characters.
Thirdly, there are the keywords that appear at the bottom of every page. These keywords can contain up to 2,000 characters. This is more than enough space to create good SEO keyword text.
Keywords are also used for putting information on the Dot Tel. Information can be updated regularly which helps with SEO dramatically. The domain owner can put quite lengthy optimized text explanations in the keywords section. Listings by organisations on can also have quite lengthy text about their products or businesses.
In a city or regional Dot tel web site, particular areas or tourist attractions can be discussed in the keywords section. Anything that a user might find useful can be put in the keywords section by the owner. The only limit is 2,000 characters in total.
In summary, the Dot Tel is a unique contact data and information tool for the internet. It is peerless within the domain name world at providing contact data storage of many different kinds. It provides fast, easy, and cheap access to that contact data and to information.
