Dot MOBI Domains
More and more people use mobile devices to access web content, so the need for mobile-friendly websites is permanently growing. To meet this demand, the body that controls the universal domain extensions, ICANN, introduced the .MOBI domain name extension in 2005. The first registrations were started in September 2006, and the notion behind this domain extension is that all websites that use it are required to comply with specific rules. In other words, all dot MOBI websites should be created to be accessed correctly by mobile devices in agreement with the so-called “MWI Best Practices for mobile content” drawn by the W3C Mobile Web Initiative (MWI) in partnership with the .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 provoked some concerns given the fact that the top-level domain name extension is the only one that specifies what devices should 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 created in such a way as to be viewed by the majority of browsers and devices, be they mobile or stationary.
In view of the fact that the dot MOBI Registry organization does not offer domains directly, you can book 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 key from your present registrar. If you do that, you’ll be able to handle your domain(s) and web hosting account from a single place – our Hepsia Control Panel interface.
