Dot MOBI Domain Names

More and more people use mobile gadgets to access the Internet, so the need for mobile-friendly websites is permanently growing. To fulfill this demand, the body that regulates the universal top-level domain name extensions, ICANN, introduced the .MOBI domain extension in 2005. The first registrations were started in September 2006, and the idea behind this extension is that all websites that use it are required to comply with special regulations. In other words, all .MOBI websites must be created to be opened faultlessly by mobile devices in accordance with the so-called “MWI Best Practices for mobile content” created by the W3C Mobile Web Initiative (MWI) in partnership with the .MOBI Registry. These involve how a page is being navigated, the way it is being displayed (form and size), etc.

The requirements have induced some worries taking into account that the generic top-level domain extension is the only one that specifies what devices need to be able to access a website and the way in which this must 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 opened by the majority of browser applications and devices, be they mobile or stationary.

Due to the fact that the dot MOBI Registry does not register domains directly, you can grab a dot MOBI domain with any 3rd-party provider, such as ours. If you have an existing domain, you can also transfer it to our firm if you get its EPP code from your current registrar company. If you do that, you’ll be able to handle your domain(s) and web hosting account from one and the same place – our Hepsia Control Panel tool.
