Dot MOBI Domain Names

More and more people use mobile devices to access web content, so the demand for mobile-friendly websites is steadily growing. To fulfill this demand, the establishment that oversees the universal top-level domain extensions, ICANN, launched the .MOBI extension in 2005. The first registrations were started in September 2006, and the notion behind this domain name extension is that all websites that use it need to comply with specific restrictions. In other words, all .MOBI websites are required to be designed to be opened 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 cooperation with the .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 requirements have induced some concerns due to the fact that the universal top-level domain name extension is the only one that specifies what devices has to be able to open a website and the way in which this needs to happen, breaking the so-called principles of device independence, according to which a website should be built in such a way as to be opened by the majority of Internet browsers and devices, be they mobile or stationary.

Given that the dot MOBI Registry does not offer domains directly, you can order a .MOBI domain with any third-party provider, such as ours. If you have an already registered domain, you can also transfer it to our firm if you obtain its EPP transfer authorization key from your present registrar firm. If you do that, you’ll be able to manage your domain(s) and web hosting account from one and the same place – our Hepsia Control Panel tool.
