Dot MOBI Domain Names
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 body that manages the universal top-level extensions, ICANN, established the .MOBI extension in 2005. The first registrations were allowed in September 2006, and the concept behind this TLD is that all websites that use it must comply with specific restrictions. In other words, all dot MOBI websites need to be built to be viewed properly by mobile devices in agreement with the so-called “MWI Best Practices for mobile content” established by the W3C Mobile Web Initiative (MWI) in cooperation with the .MOBI Registry. These involve how a website is being navigated, the way it is being displayed (form and size), and so on.
The regulations have provoked some questions as the universal domain name extension is the only one that specifies what devices ought to 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 accessed by the majority of web browsers and devices, be they mobile or stationary.
Given the fact that the dot MOBI Registry does not sell domains directly, you can secure a .MOBI domain with any 3rd-party firm, such as ours. If you have an existing domain, you can also transfer it to our company if you acquire its EPP transfer key from your present registrar company. If you do that, you’ll be able to handle your domain(s) and web hosting account from one and the same place – our Hepsia Control Panel.
