Using TEL and PRO Domain Extensions

Important Information About .PRO Domains

You must be a licensed business professional or business entity to register a .pro domain. Your license must be in good standing with, a government certification body or jurisdictional licensing entity recognized by a governmental body, which body requires that its members be licensed or admitted to a certifying or licensing entity and regularly verifies the accuracy of its data. A government body may include, for example, your country, state/province, county, or city government.
You must be able to provide evidence of your license including*:
• First Name (or company/organization)
• Last Name (or company/organization)
• Date of Licensure
• Type of Profession
• Jurisdiction Country
• Licensing Authority
• License Number
• Licensing Authority Website
*You may be requested to provide additional information regarding your business license.
You must provide your business license information after you purchase your .pro domain or your domain name will not resolve. If you have not provided your business license information you will not be allowed to renew your .pro domain.

Important Information About .TEL Domains

Every .tel domain allows you to publish, store and manage contact information and keywords directly in the domain name server (DNS) rather than the traditional method of hosting a Web site; therefore you do not need to purchase an additional Web site or hosting package, nor will Business Profile be available for your .tel domain name. In addition, other services like Web Forwarding, SSL certificates and email are not applicable. You can use Private Registration to protect your WHOIS information.
Please Note: Your .tel account needs to be populated with one piece of contact information before your .tel site will resolve. You need to have at least one contact item published otherwise your domain may be deleted.
