Dot MOBI Domain Names

More and more people use mobile gadgets to access online content, so the demand for mobile-friendly websites is constantly increasing. To meet this demand, the entity that supervises the generic top-level extensions, ICANN, launched the .MOBI extension in 2005. The first registrations were allowed in September 2006, and the idea behind this domain extension is that all websites that use it have to comply with special terms. In other words, all dot MOBI websites have to be created to be viewed correctly by mobile devices in agreement with the so-called “MWI Best Practices for mobile content” created by the W3C Mobile Web Initiative (MWI) in collaboration with the dot MOBI Registry organization. These involve how a page is being navigated, the way it is being displayed (form and size), and so on.

The rules have provoked some questions taking into account that the top-level domain name extension is the only one that specifies what devices must be able to access 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 designed in such a way as to be viewed by the majority of web browser applications and devices, be they mobile or stationary.

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