Scottsdale, Arizona - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - September 25, 2006 - Website hosting and domain registrar company, GoDaddy.com, is offering .mobi, the new top level domain designed to enhance web browsing on Internet-enabled mobile devices. The newly created .mobi domain is supported by 13 leading mobile and Internet organizations.

Beginning Sept. 26, during what is known as the Landrush period, customers may secure an available .mobi domain name, such as ”www.TheirName.mobi.”

Bob Parsons, CEO and Founder of GoDaddy.com commented, ”Dedicating a special domain extension to mobile devices is critical for developing the mobile online market. Web sites designed for PCs can be confusing and cumbersome on mobile devices. Dot mobi domain names will allow Webmasters and visitors to get the most out of their mobile experience. Go Daddy is always striving to make the Internet easier to use. We are proud to be helping our customers gain a leading edge with this emerging technology.”

Worldwide, there are four mobile phones for every one personal computer, however, industry studies show that users have been frustrated with on-the-go use of the Internet, largely because of slow-loading pages and problems navigating web sites on mobile phones and PDAs. The .mobi top level domain, with universal standards and protocols, will help solve these issues.

Warren Adelman, President and COO of GoDaddy.com addressed industry experts and media representatives at the dotMobi Release Party in New York City, stating, ”Go Daddy has worked toward this day for months. Dot mobi will revolutionize the way we use the mobile Internet. We are thrilled to be helping customers get in the dot mobi game through a combination of products, like WebSite Tonight, WebMail and services designed to tap the potential of dot mobi.”
