How many .tel domains are registered?
As of September 14, 2026, the .tel domain list contains 36,152 active .tel domains, 0.010% of all domains tracked by NetAPI, which makes .tel the #219 largest of 1,584 zones. 12 new .tel domains were registered in the last 24 hours and 382 over the last 30 days. Net of expired and deleted domains, the zone changed by +0 (+0.000%) in 30 days and by β2,040 (β5.34%) year over year.
The .tel domain list and the detailed dataset above are refreshed daily, so these figures move with the zone. 24 .tel domains are in the free NetAPI Top 1M. See the Top 1M list. 5 .tel domains are currently listed in the compromised domains feed (0.014% 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 36,152 registered domain names in the .tel zone. A basic list is one domain name per line in a gzip CSV. A detailed dataset adds DNS servers, server IP, hostname, emails, phone numbers, and more. See 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 manually, sign in and click the number in the New domains column of the
download table on this page (the Download button next to it gets the full list of active domains).
Through the API, call
/api2/?method=download&zone_tld=tel&dataset_type=list&filter_type=new&token=YOUR_API_TOKEN
(dataset_type=dataset for the detailed dataset); see the API documentation.
Can I download deleted .tel domains?
Yes. The Deleted domains list contains the .tel domains that were in the list of active domains the day before and are missing from it today, 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 columns described in the
dataset format details.
Compressed, the current .tel basic list is about 153 KB and the detailed dataset about 459 KB.
Any archiver opens gzip files, for example the free
7-Zip on Windows,
and the API can also serve 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 history presents epic growth, with 200,000 registered domains recorded three weeks after its launching. In January 2011, Telnic Limited achieved 300,000 registrations and then exhibited a sudden drop in 2014. Despite its decline, many individuals and businesses have used .tel until today and showed 43,227 registered websites under this TLD as of 9 October 2023.
Multiple entities use it to share location information, contact details, and social media profiles to enhance their digital presence. It serves as an online business card for customers who want all the ample information in one place.
