Dot MOBI Domain Names
More and more people use mobile gadgets to access the Internet, so the need for mobile-friendly websites is permanently growing. To fulfill this demand, the entity that supervises the generic top-level extensions, ICANN, established the .MOBI extension in 2005. The first registrations were started in September 2006, and the notion behind this TLD is that all websites that use it need to comply with specific regulations. In other words, all .MOBI websites ought to be built to be accessed flawlessly by mobile devices in accordance with the so-called “MWI Best Practices for mobile content” drawn by the W3C Mobile Web Initiative (MWI) in cooperation with the dot MOBI Registry organization. These incorporate how a web page is being navigated, the way it is being displayed (form and size), etc.
The restrictions have induced some questions given the fact that the universal domain extension is the only one that specifies what devices should 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 website should be designed in such a way as to be viewed by most web browsers and devices, be they mobile or stationary.
Taking into account that the .MOBI Registry does not sell domains directly, you can acquire a dot MOBI domain with any third-party company, such as ours. If you have an already registered domain, you can also move it over to our company if you acquire its EPP key from your present registrar. If you do that, you’ll be able to manage your domain(s) and hosting account from one place – our Hepsia Control Panel.
