What is a .MOBI domain?
.MOBI domains are the first top level domains created expressly for Internet use on mobile devices. This domain extension has been approved by ICANN, and ushered in a new era of domain name extensions. This domain is actually sponsored by a well-known group of mobile and Internet companies.
As cell phone purchases skyrocket and more people use mobile devices to access the Internet on the run, this domain extension is expected to gain momentum - it's going to be the best way to deliver content to mobile users around the world. Large Internet companies have already established .MOBI domains, and more are expected to join in on the action.
It's possible to register .MOBI domain names for the same low price other extensions go for, so it's a good idea to reserve .MOBI domains if you have an online company and plan to provide mobile content to your customers at a later date.
With a .MOBI domain name you have the potential to reach a larger number of users, especially because more people own cell phones than personal computers. Mobile phones are the most popular piece of technology to hit the market in recent years, and as they improve and integrate capabilities for faster wireless Internet connections, surfing online through a mobile device will become the new standard. Most cell phones are Internet ready, so this is something you have to keep in mind if you run a website.
Anyone can register .MOBI domain names, but they're given out on a first come, first served basis just like any domain name registration. A .MOBI address can contain any letter from the Roman alphabet from A to Z, and the numbers 0-9. Hyphens are permitted as well, except for at the beginning or end of the domain name. The minimum length of a .MOBI address is 3 characters, and the maximum is 63 characters. As this domain extension receives more registrations it's going to be difficult to find good addresses that are still available - reserve your .MOBI domain as soon as possible. Check
