.MOBI Domains

More and more people use mobile devices to access the World Wide Web, so the need for mobile-friendly websites is steadily growing. To meet this demand, the establishment that administers the generic domain extensions, ICANN, established the dot MOBI domain name extension in 2005. The first registrations were enabled in September 2006, and the idea behind this extension is that all websites that use it are required to comply with specific restrictions. In other words, all .MOBI websites have to be designed to be accessed faultlessly by mobile devices in accordance with the so-called “MWI Best Practices for mobile content” drawn by the W3C Mobile Web Initiative (MWI) in cooperation 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 requirements have raised some questions considering that the generic top-level domain extension is the only one that specifies what devices need to be able to open a website and the way in which this must happen, breaking the so-called principles of device independence, according to which a web page should be designed in such a way as to be viewed by the majority of web browsers and devices, be they mobile or stationary.

Because the dot MOBI Registry organization does not offer domains directly, you can purchase a dot MOBI domain with any 3rd-party company, such as ours. If you have an already active domain, you can also transfer it to our firm if you get its EPP key from your current registrar firm. If you do that, you’ll be able to control your domain(s) and web hosting account from one and the same place – our Hepsia Control Panel.

.MOBI Domain Management with Orange Hosting

If you are looking for a new home for your .MOBI domains, the Domain Manager interface that we supply is the perfect option. Being both user-friendly and fully featured, it allows you to exert full control of all domain administration tasks. You can modify all important DNS settings with just a mouse-click and edit the WHOIS details pertaining to all of your domains with ease. If you have multiple domain names, managing all of them from the exact same location is not only doable, it's in fact really easy.

Additionally, for those who have a hosting account here, then you already know that, apart from the Domain Manager itself, our Web Hosting Control Panel includes a website management section as well. This way, you'll be able to easily switch between the two, and never have to use separate Control Panels or to get familiar with different interfaces.
