Dot MOBI Domains

More and more people use mobile gadgets to access online content, so the demand for mobile-friendly websites is steadily growing. To meet this demand, the establishment that manages the universal top-level domains, ICANN, introduced the dot MOBI domain extension in 2005. The first registrations were allowed in September 2006, and the concept behind this extension is that all websites that use it need to comply with certain requirements. In other words, all dot MOBI websites should be created to be accessed without problems by mobile devices in agreement with the so-called “MWI Best Practices for mobile content” established by the W3C Mobile Web Initiative (MWI) in collaboration with the .MOBI Registry organization. These involve how a website is being navigated, the way it is being displayed (form and size), etc.

The requirements have provoked some questions given that the generic top-level domain extension is the only one that specifies what devices should 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 web page should be designed in such a way as to be opened by the majority of Internet browsers and devices, be they mobile or stationary.

In view of the fact that the .MOBI Registry does not register domains directly, you can get a dot MOBI domain with any 3rd-party company, such as ours. If you have an already registered domain, you can also move it over to our firm if you obtain its EPP transfer authorization code from your present registrar firm. If you do that, you’ll be able to handle your domain(s) and hosting account from one and the same place – our Hepsia Control Panel.
