Dot 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 steadily growing. To fulfill this demand, the body that manages the universal top-level domains, ICANN, established the dot MOBI domain extension in 2005. The first registrations were enabled in September 2006, and the concept behind this domain extension is that all websites that use it must comply with special requirements. In other words, all .MOBI websites must be designed to be accessed properly by mobile devices in agreement with the so-called “MWI Best Practices for mobile content” established by the W3C Mobile Web Initiative (MWI) in partnership with the dot MOBI Registry. These incorporate how a website is being navigated, the way it is being displayed (form and size), etc.

The rules have provoked some worries taking into consideration that the universal domain extension is the only one that specifies what devices need to be able to open a website and the way in which this should happen, breaking the so-called principles of device independence, according to which a web page should be built in such a way as to be viewed by the majority of browser applications and devices, be they mobile or stationary.

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