.mobi registration
.mobi is designed for websites, services, and brands with a clear connection to mobile users. Registration is open to individuals, businesses, and organizations without eligibility conditions. Available names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so an earlier completed registration takes priority. A .mobi domain label may contain from 1 to 63 characters. No registry-specific documentation is required to establish eligibility. This makes the extension suitable for mobile applications, device-focused products, telecommunications services, mobile campaigns, and websites whose purpose should be immediately clear from the address. To transfer an existing .mobi domain to host.yt, first remove any transfer lock or other transfer protection at your current registrar. You must also request the domain’s authorization code and provide it when placing the transfer order. Processing can take several days. Once completed, one year is added to the domain’s expiry date. Changing the registered holder requires authentication by both the current and future holder. Each party receives a validation email and must approve the request within five days, or the request is cancelled. A holder change does not alter the domain’s existing expiration date. .mobi also supports routine domain management such as renewals, DNS changes, DNSSEC, registrar locking, privacy preferences, forwarding, contact updates, restoration, and nameserver host records through host.yt.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .mobi extension stand for?
mobi signals a connection with mobile technology and mobile users. It is not an acronym that expands into a longer official name. The extension can make the purpose of a domain immediately recognizable for an application, mobile service, device platform, telecommunications product, or mobile-focused campaign.
Who can register a .mobi domain?
Anyone can register an available .mobi domain. There are no eligibility conditions based on residence, citizenship, business location, profession, or organization type. Names are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, so availability at the time the registration is completed is what matters.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .mobi?
The .mobi registry does not require applicants to provide eligibility documents or demonstrate a connection to the mobile industry. The chosen label must be between 1 and 63 characters and available for registration. Standard order, contact, and payment information may still be needed by host.yt.
Is .mobi a good choice, and what projects suit it?
mobi is a practical choice when mobile use is central to the project’s identity. It suits mobile applications, device support portals, telecommunications services, mobile campaigns, and products built primarily for smartphone users. The extension communicates that focus directly before someone visits the website.
When does .mobi make more sense than .com?
Choose .mobi when emphasizing a mobile-specific product or experience is more valuable than using a general-purpose address. Choose .com when the project serves a broad audience across many channels or needs the most familiar commercial convention. .mobi offers clearer positioning, while .com offers broader recognition.
How quickly is .mobi registered, and how long does registration last?
An available .mobi name is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis after the registration order is successfully processed. Its initial term and renewal options are shown during ordering with host.yt. The domain remains active until its stated expiry date and can be renewed before expiration.
How do I transfer a .mobi domain to host.yt?
Remove the transfer lock or other transfer protection at your current registrar, then obtain the domain’s authorization code. Submit that code with the transfer request to host.yt. The process may take several days. When the transfer completes, one year is added to the domain’s current expiry date.
