Dot MOBI Domains

More and more people use mobile gadgets to access the World Wide Web, so the demand for mobile-friendly websites is permanently increasing. To fulfill this demand, the establishment that handles the universal top-level domain extensions, ICANN, introduced the dot MOBI extension in 2005. The first registrations were allowed in September 2006, and the idea behind this domain extension is that all websites that use it must comply with specific terms. In other words, all dot MOBI websites ought to be developed to be viewed faultlessly by mobile devices in accordance with the so-called “MWI Best Practices for mobile content” established by the W3C Mobile Web Initiative (MWI) in collaboration with the .MOBI Registry. These have to do with how a site is being navigated, the way it is being displayed (form and size), etc.

The requirements have provoked some questions taking into account that the universal domain extension is the only one that specifies what devices ought 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 website should be designed in such a way as to be viewed by most web browsers and devices, be they mobile or stationary.

Given the fact that the dot MOBI Registry does not offer domains directly, you can acquire a dot MOBI domain with any 3rd-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 code from your present registrar. If you do that, you’ll be able to handle your domain(s) and hosting account from one place – our Hepsia Control Panel tool.
