.CO - the Colombian country code extension

Your .TEL Domain's Website Has A Shiny New Design

By Timo Reitnauer on March 12, 2010 10:43 AM | No TrackBacks

The .TEL top-level domain, an easy way to publish contact information online, has just released a new design for all users. Your domain name's website can now be customized with different color schemes and your personal avatar, photo or logo. If you enter links to your Twitter, Facebook profile or other services it also shows custom icons when your .TEL page is loaded.

This is how our company .TEL website ideegeo.tel looks like:

.TEL is a simple and affordable solution to own and manage a website without the need of having additional webhosting. You can even update your contact information and location from your iPhone. The new design and personalization options make .TEL pages much more interesting for both individuals and businesses.

I want my name! Or how you can own your online identity.

There's a lot of buzz around the Facebook Vanity URL launch this weekend where you will be able to register your username such as facebook.com/username instead of having a long profile address. Of course it will be nice to have your name on Facebook, we will try and get our names too. But not everybody is excited and the whole story shows the dilemma that people are facing when it comes to owning who you are online. Do you really want Facebook (or MySpace, Twitter, etc.) to be your primary address identifier for other people? All these services are currently battling over your identity but what if you don't like Facebook anymore in 2 years, the Twitpocalypse is upon us or MySpace mysteriously vanishes?

The answer to these questions is simple: Own your personal domain name!

Domains are around since 25 years (!) now and there's no sign that they will go away anytime soon. A domain name is the only address that you can really own and control. You register it, you pay for it and you use it the way you want. It's as simple as that. And even if you are not planning to use it right now, it's really a must have for every internet user.

Special Offer

We have the best domain extensions for owning your online identity on special! All new .COM, .NET, .ORG, .NAME, .INFO domain registrations are only $9.90 USD, .IM (I am) & .TEL domains at $14.90 USD and .ME for $19 USD - valid until June 30th, 2009.

See our complete list of domain extensions for more details.

The official .TEL iPhone application is available in the AppStore now. It offers an easy interface for all .TEL owners to update their domains directly from their iPhone or iPod touch. You could update the status before boarding a plane, on a road trip (don't forget our DomainApp to register domains) or just with your current location to tell your friends where you are.

The main features of My.tel are:

  • Add, remove, hide or show your contact information
  • Update your status
  • Publish your location with an embedded map
  • Add or remove folders and profiles
  • Manage privacy settings
  • Add or remove keywords

The app works pretty well and especially the map feature helps to share your current location with your friends. Imagine being at this cool party (we all know how difficult to find they can be sometimes) and you could tell your mates: "Just go to my .TEL domain if you want to come by".

If you download the My.tel app you currently also have the chance to win a $10,000 iTunes gift card or a MacBook Pro from Apple. You don't have a .TEL domain yet? Check if your name is still available.
