Hostway is advising companies that the industry sunrise period for the new .mobi is now here. The new domain name is different to any other because the web pages must be certified suitable for mobile browsing before going live.
âCompanies should register for the .mobi domain name of their choice as soon as possible in order to capitalise on the opportunities that it presentsâ said Neil Barton, director, Hostway âEvery new domain name represents an extension of the Internet, and .mobi most significantly so â it represents the official recognition of using mobile devices to access the Internet. Demand for this domain name will grow as mobile devices such as phones and PDAs become more Internet-friendly and as mobile websites improve, so it is essential that companies with trademarks get in there fast.â
The domain name is being backed by many of the largest names in the industry, including Google, Nokia and Microsoft, and represents an important opportunity for companies with services which can be accessed on the move. Many users struggle to access the Internet on their phone or PDA at the moment, and the .mobi domain name promises to make pages more streamlined, quicker to load, easier to navigate, and suitable for smaller displays.
Today there are more phones than any other Internet enabled device, and many people are now using their phones to download music, check email and access mobile services, but most stay with the pages created by their provider. With .mobi, users will know that any web page with a .mobi extension will be suitable for access on their phone.
âThis domain name is going to be exceptionally important,â continued Barton. âEveryone has a mobile phone these days, but few people find mobile Internet access reliable, consistent
