Dot MOBI Domain Names

More and more people use mobile devices to access web content, so the need for mobile-friendly websites is constantly increasing. To meet this demand, the establishment that administrates the generic domain extensions, ICANN, launched the dot MOBI domain extension in 2005. The first registrations were enabled in September 2006, and the intention behind this domain name extension is that all websites that use it are required to comply with special requirements. In other words, all .MOBI websites must be built to be viewed without problems by mobile devices in accordance with the so-called “MWI Best Practices for mobile content” drawn by the W3C Mobile Web Initiative (MWI) in partnership with the .MOBI Registry. These incorporate how a page is being navigated, the way it is being displayed (form and size), etc.

The regulations have induced some worries given the fact that the universal domain name extension is the only one that specifies what devices should 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 website should be designed in such a way as to be accessed by the majority of Internet browsers and devices, be they mobile or stationary.

Due to the fact that the .MOBI Registry does not sell domains directly, you can obtain a dot MOBI domain with any 3rd-party company, such as ours. If you have an already active domain, you can also transfer it to our company if you acquire its EPP transfer code from your current registrar firm. If you do that, you’ll be able to administrate your domain(s) and web hosting account from a single place – our Hepsia Control Panel interface.
