Trends & General Information

More and more internet-capable mobile devices allow you to surf on the go. Therefore, the ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) has introduced a new sponsored top-level-domain in July 2005: The .mobi domain is derived from the English word "mobile" and shows visitors an optimized website for mobile devices like smartphones, tablets and PDAs. Google, Microsoft and Nokia were some companies that sponsored the .mobi Domain. Any administrator or webmaster worldwide can buy and register his own .mobi domain - regardless of nationality, residence and company headquarter.

Registrar for .mobi domains is Afilias, which is also the administrative contact for .info domains.

Benefits

Especially for mobile Web applications or services the mobile domain offers enormous potential. Visitors can easily recognize the optimization for mobile devices and will have a look on your page. According to studies, .mobi domains are significantly more frequented on a mobile device than conventional top-level-domains like .uk or .com

In principle, any interested user is able and allowed to buy or register his personal .mobi domain. There are a few technical requirements: .mobi sites must be optimized for viewing on a mobile device like smartphone, tablet or PDA. Websites may optimized for different screen sizes and input devices like touchscreens. Due to the very specific orientation of the mobile domain only a few other top-level domains are directly related: The .info domain is also administrated by Afilias, other related generic top-level-domains are .org and .pro.

You are able to buy and register your own .mobi domain the way you like to: Between 3 and 63 characters are available - special characters except the hyphen are not allowed. Numbers and pure numeric domains are permitted.

Statistics

After starting the top-level-domain experienced a lot of interest: The first customers were large companies such as VISA, American Express, Virgin, eBay and Ferrari. Even within half a year, more than 300,000 .mobi domains had been registered. Meanwhile, the market is open for administrators and webmasters of private blogs and smaller or larger projects. The number of registered domains has increased accordingly continued: In April 2011, the mobile domain reached one million registered domains.
