LONDON, June 13, 2011/PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Telnic Limited (http://telnic.tel), the Registry Operator for the .tel top level domain (TLD), today announced that the General Availability registration period for short (two-character) and numeric-only .tel names will commence tomorrow at 3.00 p.m. BST.
Following the premium-priced Landrush registration period, which commenced on Wednesday 1st June 2011 at 3 p.m. BST and which lasted two weeks, General Availability will enable anyone to register any remaining short and numeric-only .tel names at regular registration pricing.
As with the previous Landrush period, the following strings remain unavailable for registration in this round:
Short domains
- all one-letter (from a.tel through to z.tel) domains
- all two-character country code top level domains (ccTLDs, such as uk.tel for example)
Numeric-only domains
- all single-digit (from 0.tel through to 9.tel) domains
- all combinations of digits and/or digit and hyphen strings that contain eight or more characters (for example, 12345678.tel or 123-5678.tel)
All registrations will be on a first-come, first served basis. As with existing .tel domain name registrations, commercial pricing will be set by ICANN-accredited Registrars and their resellers. General Availability pricing is anticipated to be similar to existing .tel registration costs. Registrations can be from one to ten years. A list of ICANN-accredited Registrars can be found at http://telnic.org/get-started-buy.html.
