Dot MOBI Domain Name Registrations

More and more people use mobile devices to access the Internet, so the need for mobile-friendly websites is permanently growing. To fulfill this demand, the establishment that administers the generic TLDs, ICANN, established the dot MOBI domain extension in 2005. The first registrations were enabled in September 2006, and the concept behind this domain name extension is that all websites that use it have to comply with specific rules. In other words, all .MOBI websites are required to be created to be viewed correctly 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 involve how a web page is being navigated, the way it is being displayed (form and size), etc.

The restrictions have induced some concerns in view of the fact that the gTLD is the only one that specifies what devices must 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 site should be built in such a way as to be viewed by the majority of Internet browsers and devices, be they mobile or stationary.

Since the .MOBI Registry organization does not register domains directly, you can order a dot MOBI domain with any 3rd-party provider, such as ours. If you have an already registered domain, you can also transfer it to our company if you acquire its EPP transfer key from your present registrar firm. If you do that, you’ll be able to manage your domain(s) and web hosting account from a single place – our Hepsia Control Panel.
