Company offers .Tel domains during the general availability launch stage of this newly introduced top level domain name.

Easyspace, a web hosting and domain name provider, today announced that it is now offering .TEL domain extension during its general availability launch stage.

The company claims that having just complete its sunrise and landrush launch periods, the .TEL has proven to be a highly sought after extension, generating several thousand sales despite the premium price attached to it during those phases.

It explains that the .Tel domain name landrush period closed (and general availability opened) at 11.59pm, Monday 23rd March. As part of the transition, pricing and registration restrictions have changed, with the cost dropping to just £12.50 and minimum registration term dropping to just 1 year. Extended registrations are available up to 10 years, adds the company.

''The .Tel extension received a massive response during its Landrush launch period despite the premium price attached to it. With that in mind, we're expecting even more interest now that the price and minimum registration terms have reduced so significantly as part of the transition from Landrush to General Availability.'' comments Errol Vanderhorst, Sales and Marketing Director for Easyspace.
