Dot MOBI Domain Name Registrations

More and more people use mobile gadgets to access the World Wide Web, so the need for mobile-friendly websites is permanently increasing. To meet this demand, the entity that manages the universal domain extensions, ICANN, launched the dot MOBI extension in 2005. The first registrations were allowed in September 2006, and the concept behind this domain extension is that all websites that use it must comply with certain regulations. In other words, all dot MOBI websites are required to be designed to be opened faultlessly by mobile devices in accordance with the so-called “MWI Best Practices for mobile content” drawn by the W3C Mobile Web Initiative (MWI) in partnership with the dot MOBI Registry organization. These have to do with how a web page is being navigated, the way it is being displayed (form and size), and so on.

The regulations have induced some worries considering the fact that the universal top-level domain is the only one that specifies what devices should be able to open 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 created in such a way as to be opened by the majority of web browsers and devices, be they mobile or stationary.

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