The domain name mobi is a top-level domain (TLD) in the Domain Name System of the Internet. Its name is derived from mobile, indicating its use by mobile devices for accessing internet resources via the Mobile Web.

DotMobi domain names have been available for registration by the public since 26 September 2006. The total number of mobile web users grew past the total number of desktop computer-based web users for the first time in 2008 (source: International Telecommunications Union, Oct 2009). Bearing in mind these stats, it is a pretty good assumption that South African mobile (cellphone) users are not far behind the international community.

There are stringent standards which the W3C Mobile Web Initiative has placed on developing websites for .mobi domains. The goal of the initiative is to make browsing the Web from mobile devices more reliable and accessible. The main aim is to evolve standards of data formats from internet providers that are tailored to the specifications of particular mobile devices. .mobi websites need to be easily browsed from mobile (cellphone) devices. As an example, please click here to view a website designed in this particular format. (Note that this example website was not designed by LIT Creations - it is mentioned here purely for example purposes).
