Dot MOBI Domain Names

More and more people use mobile gadgets to access the World Wide Web, so the demand for mobile-friendly websites is permanently increasing. To fulfill this demand, the establishment that handles the generic top-level domain extensions, ICANN, established the .MOBI domain extension in 2005. The first registrations were allowed in September 2006, and the idea behind this domain name extension is that all websites that use it should comply with specific restrictions. In other words, all .MOBI websites should be developed to be accessed faultlessly by mobile devices in accordance with the so-called “MWI Best Practices for mobile content” created by the W3C Mobile Web Initiative (MWI) in collaboration with the .MOBI Registry. These involve how a page is being navigated, the way it is being displayed (form and size), and so on.

The requirements have raised some concerns taking into consideration that the universal domain name extension is the only one that specifies what devices must be able to open 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 created in such a way as to be accessed by the majority of web browser applications and devices, be they mobile or stationary.

Given the fact that the dot MOBI Registry organization does not offer domains directly, you can book a dot MOBI domain with any third-party company, such as ours. If you have an already active domain, you can also transfer it to our company if you obtain its EPP transfer authorization code from your present registrar firm. If you do that, you’ll be able to manage your domain(s) and hosting account from one and the same place – our Hepsia Control Panel tool.

Dot MOBI Domain Management with Black Star Cloud

If you are looking for a new home for your .MOBI domains, the Domain Manager interface that we offer you is the best choice. Being both intuitive and fully featured, it allows you to have complete control over all domain administration aspects. You can update all essential DNS settings with just a click and customize the WHOIS information pertaining to your domains without any difficulty. When you have multiple domain names, managing them from the exact same location is not only doable, it's actually very simple.

Additionally, if you have a hosting account here, then you know that, aside from the Domain Manager itself, our Web Hosting Control Panel features a website management section as well. This way, you are able to easily switch between the two, and never have to use several Control Panels or to adapt to different interfaces.
