Search @Telnic, Can you set up tp.tel to forward to TelPages.com please (easier to remember and enter)? |
Roy.. Appears that .TP is a legacy Country Code. If I remember correctly, any two letter combinations that could be confused with Country Codes (ccTLDs) are reserved to reduce confusion and conflict. Here is a link to an article for .TP. http://www.ask.com/wiki/.tp Thanks Dan Prather www.danprather.tel |

Hi Dan, I understand the legacy issue with the domain extension .tp but I'm interested in tp.tel which is reserved by Telnic. tp has been registered against other domain extensions e.g http://tp.co.uk I just need something a bit easier for people to key in, and remember, and Telnic hold the best options, are doing nothing with them, and it would only take a minute to do.[/size] |
Roy... Maybe this will help with "Why Not".. "...two-character domains matching existing ccTLDs will be restricted." Goto: http://www.telnic.org/faq.html Sections -Short and numeric .tel names -What can't I apply for? http://www.iana.org/domains/root/db (.tp is a recognized ccTLD) Thanks Dan Prather www.danprather.tel |

Is that Telnic policy or something imposed upon them? To give a further example - .ca is shown as the country code for Canada but http://ca.com seems to be a business registered in New York.[/size] |
More details on reserved names can be found at http://www.telnic.org/reserved-names.html. |
Thanks Aled. Dan Prather www.danprather.tel |

So does this mean that anyone already holding a registered .tel domain with a name which now appears on the "current Top-Level Domains in the IANA database" last will have to forfeit it? :confused:[/size] |
No, if a name has been registered before becoming reserved then it would not be forfeited. |
Hmm.... 'so the people that registered photography.tel, guru.tel, tattoo.tel, etc. can use them, and others who registered tp.co.uk, tp.com, etc. can use them but you can't use tp.tel? It's a funny old world! |
