Scottsdale, Arizona - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - November 1, 2006 - Website hosting and domain registrar company, GoDaddy.com, has reported that it registered more than 65 percent of .MOBI domain names worldwide and overall has registered more than one-third of those domain names.

Neil Edwards, CEO of Mobile Top Level Domain, Ltd. (dotMobi), the company that oversees the domain remarked, ”We’re really happy to be working with an Internet leader like Go Daddy. From the beginning, Bob Parsons understood the power of the mobile Web and these sales show Go Daddy is getting that message across.

According to the company, .MOBI is the first top-level domain dedicated to delivering the Internet to mobile devices, designed to give users made-for-mobile content and services. Pages designed for .MOBI don’t try to squeeze a 17-inch display onto a 2-inch screen. Instead, a .MOBI site limits graphics and content, reducing long download times and excessive scrolling. Additionally, in the past users had no way of knowing the exact URL for the mobile version of a web site, which .MOBI has changed.

The outlook for the mobile data services industry is an estimated $112 billion by 2008, according to IDC research. And research outlined in a dotMobi fact sheet says a recent survey shows 90 percent of consumers would use mobile Internet services if pages would load faster and they wouldn’t incur high costs from mobile carriers.

Bob Parsons, Founder and CEO of GoDaddy.com remarked, ”We’re pleased with the success of dot mobi,” said “With millions of wireless phones worldwide, the mobile web is a huge market. We knew that long ago and put the infrastructure in place to help our customers wanting to join the dot mobi revolution. They can count on Go Daddy’s low prices and 24/7 customer support to get there.”

The introduction of .MOBI provides a new avenue for news and entertainment content delivery, social networking and e-commerce. Go Daddy is helping customers get in the .MOBI game through a combination of products and services — like WebSite Tonight and MobileMail — designed to tap the potential of the mobile Web expansion.

All of Go Daddy hosting packages are supported by world-class data centers and backed by a 99.9 percent uptime guarantee. There are no set-up fees or annual commitments required. Additionally, all hosting plans are supported by industry leading infrastructure, full network redundancy, enterprise-class backup and restore technology, as well as 24/7/365 monitoring, customer support and physical security.
