.MOBI Domain Name Registrations

More and more people use mobile devices to access the World Wide Web, so the need for mobile-friendly websites is permanently growing. To fulfill this demand, the body that controls the universal top-level domain name extensions, ICANN, launched the .MOBI extension in 2005. The first registrations were enabled in September 2006, and the concept behind this extension is that all websites that use it should comply with certain requirements. In other words, all dot MOBI websites ought to be built to be accessed 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 have to do with how a page is being navigated, the way it is being displayed (form and size), and so on.

The restrictions have induced some concerns given the fact that the top-level domain is the only one that specifies what devices has to be able to access a website and the way in which this has 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 accessed by the majority of web browser applications and devices, be they mobile or stationary.

Considering that the dot MOBI Registry does not offer domains directly, you can obtain a .MOBI domain with any third-party company, such as ours. If you have an existing domain, you can also transfer it to our company if you acquire its EPP code from your current registrar company. If you do that, you’ll be able to handle your domain(s) and hosting account from a single place – our Hepsia Control Panel tool.
