How many .tel domains are registered?
As of October 25, 2026, the .tel domain list contains 36,012 active .tel domains, 0.011% of all domains tracked by NetAPI, which makes .tel the #209 largest of 1,584 zones. 14 new .tel domains were registered in the last 24 hours and 336 over the last 30 days. Net of expired and deleted domains, the zone changed by −181 (−0.500%) in 30 days and by −2,119 (−5.56%) year over year.
The .tel domain list and the detailed dataset above are refreshed daily, so these figures move with the zone. 33 .tel domains are in the free NetAPI Top 1M. See the Top 1M list. 4 .tel domains are currently listed in the compromised domains feed (0.011% of the zone). See the TLD abuse report.
Frequently Asked Questions
See our FAQ for more answers.
Can I download sample datasets for the .tel zone?
Yes. Download a sample .tel domain list or a sample .tel dataset.
What is a basic domain list, and how does it differ from a detailed dataset?
Both cover the same 36,012 registered domain names in the .tel zone. A basic list is one domain name per line in a gzip CSV. A detailed dataset adds the nameservers, the server IP and its country, the hostname, emails and phone numbers found on the website, and, where the registry publishes them, the registration and expiration dates and the registrar. The full list of columns is in the dataset format details.
What are active and new domains?
Datasets for .tel are updated daily. Active domains are all currently registered names in the zone. New domains are names added in the last 24 hours.
Can I download only newly registered .tel domains?
Yes. The New domains list contains only the .tel domains registered in the last 24 hours and is rebuilt every day. To download it by hand, sign in and click the number in the New domains column of the download table on this page; the Download button next to it fetches the full list of active domains. Through the API, use the download method with the new filter, as described in the API documentation.
Can I download deleted .tel domains?
Yes. The Deleted domains list contains the .tel domains that were in the zone the day before and have dropped out of it, so it covers the last 24 hours and is rebuilt every day. Deleted domains are available as a list of domain names only, there is no detailed dataset for them.
A deleted domain is not necessarily free to register. The list records names that have dropped out of the .tel zone: the registration expired, or the domain was suspended or undelegated. After the expiration date a domain normally goes through a renewal grace period and a redemption period, typically 30 to 75 days depending on the zone, during which the current holder can still restore it, and only after a short pending-delete period is it released for registration. Some names return to the zone when the holder renews or a suspension is lifted, and then appear in the New domains list again.
What format and size is the file?
Every .tel domain list and dataset is a CSV file compressed with gzip (.csv.gz).
The basic list has one domain name per line. The detailed dataset has one row per domain with the additional data listed in the
dataset format details.
The current .tel files are about 152 KB (basic list)
and 811 KB (detailed dataset) compressed.
Any archiver opens gzip files; on Windows, for example, the free
7-Zip.
Through the API you can also download the files uncompressed (format=plain).
How do I automate daily downloads?
Schedule automatic downloads through the API. See the API documentation for authentication and endpoints.
Are emails and phone numbers available for every domain?
No. We collect contact details from public websites when available. Many domains have no published email or phone, and we do not guarantee these fields on every row. Do not use the data for unsolicited bulk outreach.
Additional .TEL Zone / Registry Information
The domain had a strong start with about 200,000 registrations within weeks of its launch and 300,000 by 2011, followed by a decline after 2014. In 2017 the registry dropped the special directory model, and .tel names can now be used like any other domain for regular websites.
Today .tel is used by businesses and individuals as an online business card that gathers contact details and profiles in one place. The registry is operated by Telnames, and registration is open to anyone.
