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.'''

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 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 .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.
+
 
+
 
+

+
[[API:TELNIC_CTH_CreateUser|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.
+
<br>
+
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.

* The next step is to create a .TEL CTH zone by using the following command:
 
 
[[API:TELNIC_CTH_CreateZone|TELNIC_CTH_CreateZone]].  This command creates a new .TEL zone and assigns it to the respective .TEL CTH user account. The optional parameter
