.com and other similar domain names have been available for a very long time now. Unfortunately the number of these website domains have been slowly disintegrating due to the amount that have been already taken. On a happier note there are newer business class domains now available including .tel.

The .tel domain became available to the general public February 3, 2009 which means there are thousands of variations of .tel presently available. The major benefit of a .tel domain is the ability to host personal or corporate information right from the DNS(Domain Name System) which means it can become universally accessible.

What does this mean for you? In contrast from what was said above, this Top Level Domain doesn't provide mapping between domain names and their IP Addresses.

Here are more benefits of buying a .tel domain:

• The ability to integrate with all forms of communication such as VOIP, Phone Numbers, and even email.


• Complete ownership of Data you publish.


• Protection of personal data and the ability to only let people you authorize view that information.


• Optimized access to Global devices with increased high speed.


• Search engine friendly for search on your mobile device and/or other forms of search.

Essentially the .tel domain is made for anyone who wants to have both an online presence and also a mobile presence. With mobile devices becoming more popular than ever and with companies speeding up mobile internet access it's very important that your company's domain is optimized for both forms.

When you purchase any domain name it's also important to have great quality hosting. That's why I recommend Hostgator.com where you can find great business class hosting for an affordable price. They also have reasonable pricing on some of the best Top Level domains available to the market. I should also mention they have unlimited bandwidth and unlimited diskspace So check out Hostgator if you're interested in keeping hosting costs down.
