We are pleased to announce the new .tel TLD is now available with XDnet.co.uk

Because .Tel is a brand new TLD currently it isn’t as straightforward as registering your .com or .net domain, we will attempt at breaking this down step by step below.

The release schedule for .Tel domains are as follows:

Sunrise (Trademark Owner)

Sunrise for .Tel started Wednesday 3rd December 2008 3pm. Sunrise is the introductory period where trademark owners can claim their .Tel domain and to deter abusive, such as people bulk buying trademarked names, such as Apple.tel and Microsoft.tel

Trademark owners are welcome to register their trademark .Tel and should note:

• Application date for trademarks should before 30th May 2008
• If there are more than one valid applicant for a .Tel domain it will be processed in a “First come, first served” basis.
• The minimum registration period is 3 years

Landrush:

• Anyone is able to apply for a domain
• The minimum registration period is 3 years
• If there are more than one valid applicant for a .Tel domain it will be processed in a “First come, first served” basis.

To register your .Tel domain please contact XDnet directly via support ticket or live chat.

To find more information about .Tel domains, please visit the official .Tel website.

Prices

Below is a list of preliminary pricing which may be subject to change (up or down).

Minimum registry period is 3 years and is set by the registry (TelNic).

Sunrise: £100/yr

Landrush: £unknown. (Trying to get this ASAP)

Open: £12/yr

For more details take a look at telnic.org or contact XDnet.

We would like to inform everyone we have upgraded the client/billing system so it will include a few more features which will hopefully make things just a little bit easier for both XDnet and our clients!

Features include:

Support ticket rating, so you can now tell us how helpful our responses are which helps us to provide a better service, and hopefully ensure we are providing the very best support possible.

SEO Friendly URLS! we have finally got SEO friendly URLs on the Knowledgebase and other parts of the Client system, which is not only good for Search Engines, but hopefull makes it easier to know what a link is about just from the URL.  Also apologies to any users (i know there was a few!) who caught us in the middle of the upgrade or before the client area templates could be corrected, as some of the links for the knowledge base was a little messed up because of the friendly URL changes, but that has now been corrected and hopefully there should be no further issues.

Ticket Search, which will enable you to easily search through previous tickets.

Network Issues, If and when network issues occur or are planned they will be shown on the network issues page in your client area (we are currently revising our client area and for users where this does not show, it will be there soon! – we are working to get the client area to fully reflect the new features and changes).

Feedback on changes, or feedback about things you would like to see on the site is much apprieciated – leave a comment below or pop us an email to support@xdnet.co.uk.

A new contributor has joined our ranks on the XDnet blog, Mike Rogem! Hopefully we can see some helpful and interesting posts from Mike in the future, and don’t forget if you would like to contribute to the XDnet Blog please get in contact, just email admin@xdnet.co.uk for more info we are looking for people who have a reasonable knowledge of web stuff and can post some useful gems!
