Dot MOBI Domain Names
More and more people use mobile gadgets to access the World Wide Web, so the need for mobile-friendly websites is constantly growing. To fulfill this demand, the body that administers the generic TLDs, ICANN, established the .MOBI extension in 2005. The first registrations were started in September 2006, and the concept behind this domain extension is that all websites that use it have to comply with certain requirements. In other words, all .MOBI websites ought to be built to be viewed without problems by mobile devices in accordance with the so-called “MWI Best Practices for mobile content” created by the W3C Mobile Web Initiative (MWI) in partnership with the .MOBI Registry. These involve how a web page is being navigated, the way it is being displayed (form and size), etc.
The requirements have provoked some concerns in view of the fact that the universal top-level domain name extension is the only one that specifies what devices need to be able to open 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 created in such a way as to be accessed by the majority of browser applications and devices, be they mobile or stationary.
Considering that the .MOBI Registry does not register domains directly, you can reserve a .MOBI domain with any 3rd-party provider, such as ours. If you have an already registered domain, you can also move it over to our firm if you get its EPP transfer authorization key from your current registrar. If you do that, you’ll be able to administer your domain(s) and hosting account from one and the same place – our Hepsia Control Panel tool.
