Domain Limitations and Requirements

.TEL-Hosting

As soon as a domain has been registered successfully, the following parameters will provide you the login and password for the .TEL-hosting platform.

Please add the following parameters with the StatusDomain command:

PROPERTY[X-TEL-CTH-LOGIN][0] (shows the login)
PROPERTY[X-TEL-CTH-PASSWORD][0] (shows the password)

Via the Web-Interface: Once registered, please use your provided control panel to retrieve your .TEL-hosting Platform login details. Please be advised that each and every .TEL domain has its own .TEL-hosting Platform login credential. You can obtain this information via the API-Command above or by clicking on Domains/Status in the HEXONET Web-Interface. Using the specific login credentials provided, you can setup and configure your .TEL domain at http://telhosting.1api.net. Configuration changes and initial setup may take up to six hours to process and to take effect. Additional configuration assistance is available in the Tel-hosting Platform interface, under "Users Guide" section.

Necessary actions after .TEL domain transfer

A .TEL domain managed through our system needs 3 objects: the domain itself, a so called CTH user and a so called CTH zone. Only if all 3 objects exist and are correctly assigned to each other, the .TEL domain can be used properly.

• At first, you have to create a .TEL CTH user account with a specific password by using the following command:

TELNIC_CTH_CreateUser.

EXAMPLE: - Please remember the password when creating a new account. If you do not explicitly set a password, the .TEL system will automatically generate a random password for you. The password will be displayed after sending the command and will be sent out to the email address of the registrant.
In case of creating a CTH user with this command, the password will not be visible in the status of the domain afterwards. Please note that the maximum length of a username is 32 characters.

command = TELNIC_CTH_CreateUser
X-TEL-CTH-LOGIN = <TEXT>
EMAIL = <EMAIL>
X-TEL-CTH-PASSWORD = <TEXT> (optional)

• The next step is to create a .TEL CTH zone by using the following command:

TELNIC_CTH_CreateZone. This command creates a new .TEL zone and assigns it to the respective .TEL CTH user account. The optional parameter

synchronized = 0 | 1 can be used to delete / remove a formerly added zone or a zone which is still at the foreign registrar (please refer to the example below).

EXAMPLE: - This command allows you to assign domains to an existing .TEL account.

command = TELNIC_CTH_CreateZone
domain = <DOMAIN>
X-TEL-CTH-LOGIN = <TEXT
synchronized = 0 | 1 (optional)

No special procedures.
