As of March 13, 2017, DNS Restrictions lifted by the registry and .TEL registrants will be granted the freedom of choice with respect to the hosting and use of their .tel domain. A newly upgraded Telhosting platform (available Feb 13th, 2017) will become one option among many for customers to showcase their .TEL domain names.
+
==== Summary ====
  
−
.TEL registrants will be issued an email with account details for the new, optional Telhosting system. Updates may be made on the new system, but any content created will not resolve in the DNS until March 13th, 2017. Prior to 13th March 2017, domains will continue to resolve normally in the current system.  
+
As of March 13, 2017, previous DNS restrictions have been lifted by the registry, allowing .TEL registrants the freedom to choose how to use and host their .TEL domain names.  
  
−
Please note that the current Telhosting system will be permanently shut down and that any data in the current system will be PERMANENTLY DELETED on March 13th, 2017. Any .TEL domain owner that wishes to extract a copy of their data from the current system should run the BACKUP function from their current Telhosting account by '''March 12th, 2017 at the latest'''. This will produce an XML file containing all of their data which can be used either as a reference for populating their new account or as a data source for populating an independent and separate third party hosting solution. '''Data that is not backed up will not be recoverable.'''
+
A newly upgraded Telhosting platform is a ready-made option among others for customers to showcase their .TEL domain names.  
  
−
It is also important to note that Telnic is unable to run the current and new platform and will not be offering sub domain functionality in the new platform. Once again, .TEL domain registrants are advised to back up their domain data from the current platform by 12th March 2017. Should .TEL registrants wish to continue to host their domain on a similar version to the current Telhosting platform which incorporates sub domains, please ask them to contact us at [email protected] to discuss options available.
+
==== A New Telhosting Platform ====
  
−
iOS and Android apps will be available that will enable .TEL domain name customers using Telhosting to manage their domain names using their smartphone. Downloads for these apps will be available from Telnic's web site or from the Apple and Google Play stores in March 2017.
+
.TEL registrants may access the new, ''optional'' Telhosting system at https://www.managemy.tel. More information will also be available on the registry's website (www.do.tel). New content on this and other platforms will now resolve in the DNS.

As of March 13th, 2017, the old Telhosting system was permanently shut down and any data was PERMANENTLY DELETED.

It is also important to note that Telnic will ''not'' run the old and new platform simultaneously and will ''not'' be offering sub domain functionality in the new platform.

[edit] .TEL Updates on March 13th, 2017

[edit] Summary

As of March 13, 2017, previous DNS restrictions have been lifted by the registry, allowing .TEL registrants the freedom to choose how to use and host their .TEL domain names.

A newly upgraded Telhosting platform is a ready-made option among others for customers to showcase their .TEL domain names.

[edit] A New Telhosting Platform

.TEL registrants may access the new, optional Telhosting system at https://www.managemy.tel. More information will also be available on the registry's website (www.do.tel). New content on this and other platforms will now resolve in the DNS.

iOS and Android apps will be available that will enable .TEL domain name customers using Telhosting to manage their domain names using their smartphone. Downloads for these apps will be available from Telnic's website or from the Apple and Google Play stores around March 2017.

[edit] Key Dates and Actions to be Taken

As of March 13th, 2017, the old Telhosting system was permanently shut down and any data was PERMANENTLY DELETED. Registrants who backed up their data may use it as a reference for populating their new account or as a data source for populating an independent and separate third party hosting solution.

It is also important to note that Telnic will not run the old and new platform simultaneously and will not be offering sub domain functionality in the new platform. Should .TEL registrants wish to continue to host their domain on a similar version to the current Telhosting platform which incorporates sub domains, please ask them to contact the .TEL registry at [email protected] to discuss options available.
