Dot MOBI Domain Name Registrations

More and more people use mobile devices to access online content, so the need for mobile-friendly websites is steadily growing. To meet this demand, the body that manages the universal domain extensions, ICANN, launched the .MOBI domain name extension in 2005. The first registrations were allowed in September 2006, and the intention behind this domain name extension is that all websites that use it have to comply with specific restrictions. In other words, all dot MOBI websites ought to be built to be accessed flawlessly by mobile devices in agreement with the so-called “MWI Best Practices for mobile content” drawn by the W3C Mobile Web Initiative (MWI) in cooperation with the dot MOBI Registry organization. These have to do with how a website is being navigated, the way it is being displayed (form and size), and so on.

The rules have induced some worries since the generic top-level extension is the only one that specifies what devices must 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 website should be designed in such a way as to be accessed by the majority of browsers and devices, be they mobile or stationary.

Due to the fact that the .MOBI Registry organization does not register domains directly, you can buy a dot MOBI domain with any third-party provider, such as ours. If you have an already active domain, you can also transfer it to our company if you get its EPP key from your present registrar firm. If you do that, you’ll be able to control your domain(s) and hosting account from one and the same place – our Hepsia Control Panel tool.
