New updates to the telhosting interface allow you to:
- Rename folders Managing your sub-domains has just become so much easier. You can now rename a folder, and all links to it throughout your domain will be updated automatically. Note that the opposite won’t work: editing a “Go to” link to a folder does not change the folder name.
- Give your .tel a title You can now change the default title of your .tel page to any text you like—so nestle.tel can now say Nestlé! Use any language and special characters, and up to 255 bytes of text, individual for every folder. Just click Edit for the heading above the Profile menu on the Dashboard.
- Show off your usernames With the new username type in Contact items, you can add all your gaming handles, virtual characters and usernames to your .tel page. Your .tel is now your virtual identity! Create a new contact item “username” with the name and add a comment for details.

Oliver Humpage, Watershed’s ICT Co-ordinator explains how Watershed.tel works. Launched this week, watershed.tel is a strong example of how a .tel domain can be used for near real-time communication in a simple-to- access format. Bristol-based Watershed Media Centre has 3 cinema screens, several events spaces and a Café/Bar, and has lots of events both film and not film.
“Watershed opened in 1982 as Britain’s first dedicated Media Centre – that is, concentrating on photography and the moving image. Watershed’s strength is its ability to mix up creativity, learning, R&D and business in ways which benefit everyone. ”
“The internet is a vital part of Watershed’s activities. We started experimenting with online content in 1999 (we got a symmetric 10Mb internet connection, well before broadband was widespread), and we were one of the first places in Bristol to offer completely free wireless access in our Café/Bar. ”
“As a result of these early experiments we concentrated more and more on online artwork and activities, until we reached a point around 2004 where we made a conscious decision to stop having “traditional” exhibitions in the building at all. http://dshed.net is our online showcase, which is currently undergoing a major redevelopment to help it cope with the sheer quantity of creative output it’s trying to display. ”
“Watershed is a rarity in the arts world, having a relatively large IT department and managing as much IT as possible in-house. This gives us the knowledge and flexibility to experiment with new technologies. A large part of being a successful IT dept relies on having the time and skills available to do R&D, coupled with an underlying recognition that technology is there to help people communicate more easily and more effectively. ” Read more…
