Dot MOBI Domains

More and more people use mobile gadgets to access the World Wide Web, so the demand for mobile-friendly websites is ever growing. To meet this demand, the establishment that oversees the generic top-level domain extensions, ICANN, introduced the dot MOBI domain extension in 2005. The first registrations were started in September 2006, and the notion behind this extension is that all websites that use it are required to comply with certain terms. In other words, all .MOBI websites are required to be developed to be opened flawlessly by mobile devices in agreement with the so-called “MWI Best Practices for mobile content” established by the W3C Mobile Web Initiative (MWI) in cooperation with the dot MOBI Registry organization. These involve how a site is being navigated, the way it is being displayed (form and size), and so on.

The regulations have provoked some worries as the top-level domain is the only one that specifies what devices need 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 site should be created in such a way as to be accessed by most browsers and devices, be they mobile or stationary.

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