Dot MOBI Domain Name Registrations
More and more people use mobile devices to access online content, so the need for mobile-friendly websites is ever increasing. To meet this demand, the organization that handles the generic top-level extensions, ICANN, established the .MOBI domain extension in 2005. The first registrations were enabled in September 2006, and the intention behind this domain name extension is that all websites that use it have to comply with specific terms. In other words, all .MOBI websites are required to be designed to be viewed flawlessly by mobile devices in accordance with the so-called “MWI Best Practices for mobile content” created by the W3C Mobile Web Initiative (MWI) in cooperation with the .MOBI Registry organization. These incorporate how a site is being navigated, the way it is being displayed (form and size), and so on.
The rules have provoked some worries since the top-level domain name 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 web page should be designed in such a way as to be opened by most Internet browsers and devices, be they mobile or stationary.
Taking into account that the dot MOBI Registry organization does not register domains directly, you can obtain a dot MOBI domain with any third-party provider, such as ours. If you have an already registered domain, you can also move it over to our firm if you acquire its EPP transfer authorization code from your current registrar. If you do that, you’ll be able to administer your domain(s) and hosting account from one place – our Hepsia Control Panel.
