Telnic people told me that some features from the old plateform have been removed from the new; why ? Why did they make a new system with less feaures than the old one ? To prevent us from continue using their services ?
If I can not restaure my backup in https://www.managemy.tel/, which plateform will accept this backup ? How much per year ?
=> can not keep using the free services that used to be mandatory in the past.
Telnic people recommended me https://www.telmasters.com/ but never received the verification email; web page said:
Warning: curl_exec() has been disabled for security reasons in /var/www/vhosts/telmasters.com/httpsdocs/funcs.php on line 233
Verification sent to (SNIPMYEMAIL). You must verify before you can login.

I tried to email the owner of www.telmasters.com but I always receive a reject notice with spam reason. Some IP seems filtered by RBL. I tried from 3 different SMTP. In all cases, the rejected IP is the same (while my 3 SMTP don't share same IP). So I think mark@telmasters.com has various redirections, and that delivery to the first MX works fine, but, things fail later during some forward.
=> can not use the recommended hosting service, and can not contact them.
So, in the end, I dumped the webpages from mydomain.tel and pushed the raw HTML files on some random webhoster. Website works fine when I force mydomain.tel to resolve to RandomWebHoster in my /etc/hosts. So, I have tried to change my DNS resolution. Gandi never accepted to change my NS. Even before eding my zone, I need to change the NS value, and this is forbidden. So, I tried to create a "planned change", a change with effective time in the future; I have set it to 14th march. Refused.
=> when hosting my website in a third party service, I was not able to make my domain point to a new nameserver.
If I can not make a smooth change, and can not plan a NS change, and if the old plateform is shutdown in march 13th, this means, in march 13th, my website will be down. Means, all .tel websites will be down on march 13th ?
So, all .tel owners will want to connect in march 13th, on their dashboards in respective registar (Gandi for me) to update their NS, then, set their zones, and wait a few hours or days for new zones to propagate ? Tens of thouthands of admins editing their dashboards at the same time the same day ? All .tel down next week ?
What is it I did not understand, or, do they really want to kill this TLD ? Bug in Gandi ?
