Landrush For .mobi Domain Registration Begins


2006-09-28 14:33:20 | Viewed 3189 times

Ireland-based mobile Top Level Domain (mTLD) has made the .mobi TLD available to the general public. General Registration begins with Landrush on 26 September, followed by Standard General Registration on 11 October.

The promise of dotMobi, introduced back in May, is to deliver better more streamlined Internet content to mobile devices through optimization. Now that a Sunrise Registration period for owners of intellectual property is over, the mobile Top Level Domain Ltd (mTLD) in charge of registration for the new domain name has opened up its doors to the general public.

13,000 trademark companies joined during the Sunrise period. It is said that 25,000 were originally expected.

mTLD anticipates signing up over 200,000 dotMobi sites within its first year. Yesterday began what is being labeled the Land Rush period, a (well) rush of over 75,000 registrants registered .mobi domains. During this time, applicants will pay more than when the Standard General Registration starts on October 11th. In general, a .mobi address should go for about $25 for a two-years.
