.mobi Domain Names
The domain name mobi is a top-level domain (TLD) in the Domain Name System of the Internet. Its name is derived from the adjective mobile, indicating it is used by mobile devices for accessing Internet resources via the Mobile Web.
The domain was approved by ICANN on 11 July 2005, and is managed by the mTLD global registry. It was originally financially backed and sponsored by Google, Microsoft, Nokia, Samsung, Ericsson, Vodafone, T-Mobile, Telefónica Móviles, Telecom Italia Mobile, Orascom Telecom, GSM Association, Hutchison Whampoa, Syniverse Technologies, and Visa, with an executive from each company serving on mTLD's board of directors.

- The .mobi domain is for smartphones, tablets and other devices that can access the mobile web. Many businesses choose to create separate mobile-friendly sites for use with these smaller devices. Mobile web users love being able to make appointments, purchase products and get directions while on the go. A .mobi domain differentiates your mobile site from your main .com, .biz or .net site and tells customers that they will be able to quickly and easily access your site – your mobile customers will thank you for it.
