Telegram’s Short‑Link Domain t.me Suspended by Registrar

The domain t.me, which powers Telegram’s short‑link service, was suspended by its registrar. WHOIS records show the domain’s status changed to inactive. The suspension interrupts the redirection of shortened Telegram URLs. Users attempting to access t.me links may encounter error pages. Telegram has not issued an official statement regarding the cause. The outage highlights the reliance on third‑party domain registration. Service continuity may depend on reinstating the domain or migrating to an alternative. Industry observers will monitor the situation for broader implications on messaging platforms.
