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 entity that operates the universal domain extensions, ICANN, introduced the .MOBI domain extension in 2005. The first registrations were allowed in September 2006, and the idea behind this extension is that all websites that use it have to comply with specific terms. In other words, all dot MOBI websites are required to be developed to be viewed properly 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 organization. These involve how a web page is being navigated, the way it is being displayed (form and size), and so on.

The regulations have induced some concerns taking into account that the universal top-level domain extension is the only one that specifies what devices ought to 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 designed in such a way as to be viewed by the majority of browsers and devices, be they mobile or stationary.

Taking into account that the dot MOBI Registry organization does not register domains directly, you can order a .MOBI domain with any third-party provider, such as ours. If you have an already active domain, you can also transfer it to our firm if you get its EPP transfer code from your current registrar company. If you do that, you’ll be able to administrate your domain(s) and web hosting account from one and the same place – our Hepsia Control Panel interface.
