.MOBI Domain Names

More and more people use mobile gadgets to access online content, so the demand for mobile-friendly websites is ever growing. To meet this demand, the body that supervises the universal top-level domain extensions, ICANN, established the dot MOBI extension in 2005. The first registrations were enabled in September 2006, and the concept behind this TLD is that all websites that use it must comply with special restrictions. In other words, all dot MOBI websites have to be developed to be viewed without problems by mobile devices in agreement with the so-called “MWI Best Practices for mobile content” formulated by the W3C Mobile Web Initiative (MWI) in partnership with the dot MOBI Registry organization. These have to do with how a page is being navigated, the way it is being displayed (form and size), etc.

The restrictions have induced some concerns in view of the fact that the universal domain name extension is the only one that specifies what devices should be able to access a website and the way in which this has to happen, breaking the so-called principles of device independence, according to which a site should be created in such a way as to be accessed by the majority of web browser applications and devices, be they mobile or stationary.

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