.MOBI Domains

More and more people use mobile devices to access online content, so the need for mobile-friendly websites is permanently increasing. To fulfill this demand, the entity that manages the generic top-level domain extensions, ICANN, introduced the dot MOBI domain name extension in 2005. The first registrations were started in September 2006, and the concept behind this extension is that all websites that use it must comply with specific restrictions. In other words, all .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” created by the W3C Mobile Web Initiative (MWI) in cooperation with the .MOBI Registry organization. These involve how a web page is being navigated, the way it is being displayed (form and size), etc.

The regulations have induced some worries because the universal top-level domain name extension is the only one that specifies what devices ought to be able to access a website and the way in which this should happen, breaking the so-called principles of device independence, according to which a site should be designed in such a way as to be viewed by most Internet browsers and devices, be they mobile or stationary.

Given that the .MOBI Registry does not sell domains directly, you can reserve a .MOBI domain with any 3rd-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 transfer key from your present registrar firm. If you do that, you’ll be able to handle your domain(s) and web hosting account from a single place – our Hepsia Control Panel.
