Dot MOBI Domains

More and more people use mobile devices to access the Internet, so the need for mobile-friendly websites is constantly growing. To meet this demand, the establishment that administrates the generic domain name extensions, ICANN, launched the dot MOBI domain extension in 2005. The first registrations were enabled in September 2006, and the notion behind this TLD is that all websites that use it should comply with certain terms. In other words, all .MOBI websites ought to be designed to be opened faultlessly by mobile devices in accordance with the so-called “MWI Best Practices for mobile content” created by the W3C Mobile Web Initiative (MWI) in partnership with the .MOBI Registry. These have to do with how a site is being navigated, the way it is being displayed (form and size), and so on.

The regulations have provoked some worries considering the fact that the generic top-level domain name extension is the only one that specifies what devices need to be able to open a website and the way in which this needs to happen, breaking the so-called principles of device independence, according to which a web page should be created in such a way as to be viewed by most browsers and devices, be they mobile or stationary.

Considering that the .MOBI Registry organization does not offer domains directly, you can acquire a .MOBI domain with any third-party firm, such as ours. If you have an already registered domain, you can also transfer it to our company if you get its EPP transfer key from your current registrar company. If you do that, you’ll be able to administer your domain(s) and web hosting account from one place – our Hepsia Control Panel.
