.MOBI Domain Name Registrations

More and more people use mobile devices to access the Internet, so the need for mobile-friendly websites is ever growing. To fulfill this demand, the organization that administers the generic top-level domain name extensions, ICANN, introduced the dot MOBI extension in 2005. The first registrations were allowed in September 2006, and the intention behind this domain extension is that all websites that use it have to comply with special requirements. In other words, all .MOBI websites are required to be developed to be opened without problems by mobile devices in accordance with the so-called “MWI Best Practices for mobile content” established by the W3C Mobile Web Initiative (MWI) in partnership with the .MOBI Registry organization. These incorporate how a page is being navigated, the way it is being displayed (form and size), etc.

The restrictions have provoked some questions in view of the fact that the gTLD is the only one that specifies what devices need 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 web page should be built in such a way as to be accessed by most web browsers and devices, be they mobile or stationary.

Since the .MOBI Registry does not sell 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 transfer it to our company if you get its EPP transfer key from your present registrar firm. If you do that, you’ll be able to manage your domain(s) and web hosting account from one and the same place – our Hepsia Control Panel.

.MOBI Domain Management with AgapeWorldwide WebHost

If you are searching for a new home for your .MOBI domain names, the Domain Manager interface we offer is a very good choice. Being both user-friendly and fully featured, it allows you to have total control of all domain administration duties. You can edit all of the important DNS settings with only a single click and update the WHOIS information associated with all your domains without difficulty. When you have many domains, controlling all of them from the exact same location is not just doable, but it is actually easy.

In addition, for those who have a hosting account with us, then you are already aware that, aside from the Domain Manager itself, our Web Hosting Control Panel has a site management section as well. This way, you are able to seamlessly switch between the two, without having to use separate Control Panels or to adapt to new interfaces.
