Dot-tel domains are different from other TLDs. Because you can not publish a website to them, there are different reasons why you would use or develop a .tel site or directory and they are different from why you would develop on another TLD.

When considering registering a dot-tel domain you should consider the common factors when choosing your name, but you also need to take into factor in how a .tel is used.

Is your dot-tel any good?

Ask yourself:

1. Does your .TEL domain relate to product and or services?

2. Does your .TEL extension have the potential to support “order by phone” type business?

3. Is your .TEL GEO based?

If your answer is “yes” to any of these questions then you may have a good .tel domain.

When registering your .tel domain you will also likely need a web-based front-end for the services offered by your .tel directory.

Matching your non-dot-tel domain with a dot-com that has a “tel” prefix or suffix makes for a good match and can be easier to find than trying to get the same name with a different TLD.

.tel registration choices can be difficult, but if you consider them carefully, your investment will pay off.
