.mobi domain names
A name with a mobile connection.
A .mobi domain can introduce a project with a mobile focus. The address does not make a website mobile-friendly: the pages and any connected tools still need to work well on a phone.
£41.95 /yr + VAT · £50.34 including VAT
One-year renewal: £41.95 + VAT (£50.34 including VAT). Compare registration terms ↓
Who can register?
Choose .mobi under the registry’s registration policies. Check rights to the name and provide accurate registrant details; availability is confirmed again during registration. Registry guidance (opens in a new tab)↗
Choose with confidence
Is .mobi right for your idea?
Explain the relationship with an app
If the site introduces an app, provide a clear route to the appropriate store and explain what the app does. The domain itself is not an app-store listing.
Avoid unnecessary duplicate sites
A responsive main site may already serve mobile visitors well. Consider whether a separate address has a clear purpose before splitting the same content.

About this extension
The story behind .mobi
- Domain family
- Generic top-level domain
- Registry operator
- Identity Digital
Identity Digital is responsible for this domain registry. Registration through UK Cheapest and the website or email service you connect are separate parts of using the name. IANA: .mobi registry record (opens in a new tab)
How .mobi fits into the domain system
IANA’s .mobi registry record dates from October 2005. It identifies Identity Digital as the registry operator. A generic ending associated with mobile use. This is the registry-record date, rather than a claimed public launch date.
Background checked 6 September 2026 against the sources linked above.

Questions about .mobi domains
Does .mobi automatically adapt a website?
No. Mobile usability depends on the site’s design and implementation.
Can desktop visitors open it?
A domain can connect to an ordinary website; the site determines the experience on each device.
Does it include an app?
No. App development and distribution are separate from domain registration.
What happens after I find a domain?
Add one or more available names to your basket, then continue to registration. Enter the owner details and review the registration term and total before payment. Availability is provisional until the registrar confirms registration.
Will UKC charge me automatically at renewal?
No. UKC sends renewal reminders and an invoice. You need to pay the invoice to renew; UKC does not automatically charge you. Keep your contact details current so you receive reminders.
