Dot MOBI Domains

More and more people use mobile gadgets to access the World Wide Web, so the need for mobile-friendly websites is constantly increasing. To fulfill this demand, the body that manages the generic TLDs, ICANN, launched the .MOBI extension in 2005. The first registrations were started in September 2006, and the idea behind this extension is that all websites that use it must comply with certain regulations. In other words, all dot MOBI websites should be built to be viewed without problems by mobile devices in agreement with the so-called “MWI Best Practices for mobile content” formulated by the W3C Mobile Web Initiative (MWI) in partnership with the .MOBI Registry organization. These involve how a page is being navigated, the way it is being displayed (form and size), etc.

The requirements have raised some concerns because the universal top-level domain name extension is the only one that specifies what devices must 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 website should be built in such a way as to be accessed by the majority of web browsers and devices, be they mobile or stationary.

In view of the fact that the dot MOBI Registry organization does not sell domains directly, you can secure a dot MOBI domain with any third-party company, such as ours. If you have an already registered domain, you can also move it over to our company if you get its EPP key from your current registrar. If you do that, you’ll be able to manage your domain(s) and hosting account from one and the same place – our Hepsia Control Panel.
