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 increasing. To fulfill this demand, the organization that regulates the universal top-level domain extensions, ICANN, launched the dot MOBI domain name extension in 2005. The first registrations were allowed in September 2006, and the intention behind this TLD is that all websites that use it have to comply with certain regulations. In other words, all .MOBI websites must be developed to be accessed correctly by mobile devices in agreement with the so-called “MWI Best Practices for mobile content” formulated by the W3C Mobile Web Initiative (MWI) in collaboration with the .MOBI Registry organization. These incorporate how a page is being navigated, the way it is being displayed (form and size), etc.

The rules have induced some worries due to the fact that the gTLD is the only one that specifies what devices should be able to access a website and the way in which this needs 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 opened by the majority of browser applications and devices, be they mobile or stationary.

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