The past year, dotMobi (the mobi registry) noted an enormous growth in the number of new registrations for the .mobi domain. At the beginning of 2008, there were only 150.000 .mobi names registered. Right now they’ve reached a number of 1.100.000 registrations. That’s a growht of nearly 700%. So it’s quite logic, the .mobi registry is euphoric right now. Especially because for quite a while, it seemed the domain would never catch on.

What is special about a .mobi name, is that it needs to be able to accept visits from mobiles devices such as PDA’s and mobile phones. This seemed to be an obstacle for quite a while. However this obstacle seemed to have disappeared right now since both larger and smaller brands choose for a .mobi name right now. One of the reason might be that a .mobi domain can make sure you’re easily and quiclky found through search engines.

Now the domain seems to be finally launched, we’ll just have to wait and see if it will be able to maintain his growth.
