Dot MOBI Domain Names
More and more people use mobile gadgets to access online content, so the demand for mobile-friendly websites is ever increasing. To meet this demand, the establishment that supervises the generic domain extensions, ICANN, established the dot MOBI extension in 2005. The first registrations were enabled in September 2006, and the concept behind this TLD is that all websites that use it need to comply with certain restrictions. In other words, all .MOBI websites have to be created 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 partnership with the dot MOBI Registry organization. These involve how a page is being navigated, the way it is being displayed (form and size), and so on.
The rules have provoked some concerns taking into consideration that the universal extension is the only one that specifies what devices ought to be able to access a website and the way in which this should happen, breaking the so-called principles of device independence, according to which a website should be built in such a way as to be viewed by the majority of web browser applications and devices, be they mobile or stationary.
Taking into account that the dot MOBI Registry does not register domains directly, you can get a .MOBI domain with any third-party firm, such as ours. If you have an already active domain, you can also move it over to our firm if you get its EPP code from your present registrar. If you do that, you’ll be able to administer your domain(s) and hosting account from a single place – our Hepsia Control Panel tool.
