.MOBI Domain Name Registrations

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

The rules have provoked some questions given that the generic top-level extension is the only one that specifies what devices should 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 created in such a way as to be accessed by the majority of browsers and devices, be they mobile or stationary.

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