Simple and common first names will definitely be the first to go soon as the dot tel domains are launched in the next few months. Even right now, some may have already pre-registered .tel domains which are considered premium because they can easily be recalled. Think in the lines of mary.tel, or mike.tel and bob.tel. If you by any chance have any of those names, you might have just missed your chance.

All's not lost though. EuroDNS.com is still accepting pre-registration for everybody on the planet. Anybody can apply and pre-register their dot tel domains on a first-come first served basis. Even if you don't actually own the name, registering commonfirstname.tel can be one of the better domain investments around because there will always be an available buyer.

Other registration options for .tel domains are:

1. Network Solutions

2. Domainit.com

3. Easy Space

4. Moniker.com
