TelHosting

TelHosting is the process of creating .tel DNS zones and their publication on designated servers. Only companies accredited by Telnic Ltd., TelHosting Providers, can perform these actions. The TelHosting Provider operates name servers to resolve .tel domains and TelHosting Software to create, maintain, and publish zones on these name servers. The software also handles privacy and security settings related to encryption and decryption of stored data.

Client applications that manipulate .tel domains interact with the TelHosting platform via a standardized SOAP API, which can be logically divided into the 'read' API responsible for looking up .tel domains in the database, and the 'write' API for editing data for a specific .tel domain. The TelHosting Software also allows managing contact data via a web interface.
