.MOBI Domain Name Registrations

More and more people use mobile devices to access the Internet, so the demand for mobile-friendly websites is ever growing. To meet this demand, the entity that oversees the universal top-level extensions, ICANN, launched the .MOBI domain name extension in 2005. The first registrations were started in September 2006, and the idea behind this domain name extension is that all websites that use it should comply with specific requirements. In other words, all .MOBI websites are required to be developed to be viewed without problems by mobile devices in agreement with the so-called “MWI Best Practices for mobile content” drawn by the W3C Mobile Web Initiative (MWI) in collaboration with the dot MOBI Registry organization. These have to do with how a website is being navigated, the way it is being displayed (form and size), and so on.

The rules have raised some concerns taking into account that the generic top-level extension is the only one that specifies what devices must be able to access a website and the way in which this must 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.

Because the dot MOBI Registry organization does not sell domains directly, you can obtain a dot MOBI domain with any 3rd-party firm, such as ours. If you have an already active domain, you can also transfer it 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.

.MOBI Domain Names with 7Host Web Hosting

If you are looking for a new home for your .MOBI domains, the Domain Manager interface that we offer you is an excellent option. Being both easy to use and fully featured, it allows you to exert complete control of all domain name administration duties. You can update all essential DNS settings with a mouse-click and customize the WHOIS data pertaining to all of your domains without difficulty. For those who have more than one domains, controlling them from the same place isn't just possible, but it is actually easy.

Furthermore, when you have a hosting account here, then you are already aware of the fact that, aside from the Domain Manager itself, our Web Hosting Control Panel features a site management section as well. This way, you'll be able to seamlessly move between the two, and never have to use different Control Panels or to adjust to different interfaces.
