We have looked at various options but as we are virtually exclusively promoting mobile phone focused content we have decided to use dot mobi domain names.
However many internet commentators consider dot mobi to be a worthless domain extension with no major sites using it, no type in traffic and poor public recognicition. Those commentators have a point - after all when you look at the world's biggest websites, all are dot com and nearly all use m.<name>.com for their mobile site. However, South Africa seems to be a unique place where dot mobi is actually is used as it was intended and is publically advertised - See who is actively using it: -
However, the large number of prominent advertised mobi sites in South Africa implies that dotmobi is now the generally accepted way to access mobile web content in this part of the world.
