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 36,154 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.

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 458 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.

The .tel is the unique top-level domain launched in March 2009 by a UK-based domain registry company, Telnic Limited. It was intended to store contact information about the domain owner directly in the DNS and act as a global online directory. Users don’t need a website or additional navigation to access the contact details, which shows an innovative creation among TLDs.

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.
