Dot MOBI Domain Name Registrations

More and more people use mobile gadgets to access the Internet, so the need for mobile-friendly websites is constantly growing. To fulfill this demand, the organization that administers the generic domain extensions, ICANN, introduced the dot MOBI extension in 2005. The first registrations were started in September 2006, and the notion behind this extension is that all websites that use it are required to comply with certain rules. In other words, all .MOBI websites ought to be designed to be viewed flawlessly by mobile devices in accordance with the so-called “MWI Best Practices for mobile content” established by the W3C Mobile Web Initiative (MWI) in partnership with the .MOBI Registry. These involve how a web page is being navigated, the way it is being displayed (form and size), etc.

The requirements have induced some concerns as the TLD is the only one that specifies what devices ought to be able to open a website and the way in which this must happen, breaking the so-called principles of device independence, according to which a site should be designed in such a way as to be opened by most browser applications and devices, be they mobile or stationary.

Since the .MOBI Registry does not sell domains directly, you can register a .MOBI domain with any third-party company, such as ours. If you have an already active domain, you can also move it over to our firm if you obtain its EPP transfer code from your present registrar firm. If you do that, you’ll be able to administer your domain(s) and web hosting account from a single place – our Hepsia Control Panel.
