Bottom line
Cosmotown has the lowest 3-year cost for .mobi: $71.72, which is $11.78 less than NicNames, the registrar with the lowest first year.
.mobi is a generic domain created for mobile websites. It was added to the root zone on 17 October 2005, when phones had tiny screens and slow connections, and normal websites barely worked on them. The idea was that a .mobi address would tell you a site was built for phones.
.mobi was launched by a company called dotMobi, which was backed by big names in mobile and tech, including Nokia, Microsoft, Vodafone and Google. At first it had rules about mobile-friendly design. Afilias bought dotMobi in 2010, and since Afilias became part of Identity Digital, Identity Digital now runs .mobi.
Anyone can register a .mobi name. The old mobile design rules no longer apply. People and organisations can register any available name through a registrar, subject to Identity Digital's usual policies. If you read old articles about strict .mobi rules, they're describing how it worked when it launched.
Smartphones changed everything for .mobi. Once phones could open full websites and websites adjusted to any screen size, businesses no longer needed a separate mobile address. Most businesses now use one website for both phones and computers. .mobi is still available and still used, but it's no longer needed for technical reasons.
Today, .mobi is mainly used by mobile apps and services, mobile network and phone companies, and as an address that sends people to an app download page. Some companies keep their old .mobi name and point it to their main website so older links still work.
