Choosing Your Mobile Domain For goMobi
When you set up a mobile website you'll need a new domain name for it. Here you have a couple of choices:
- Register a new mobile .mobi domain
- Use a sub-domain of your existing domain name
For example if you have a website with a domain name www.mydomain.com you can:
1. Register a new .mobi domain
In this case your mobile website will be on www.mydomain.mobi.
This has particular advantages with search engines. They know that your customers are using a mobile device and will promote .mobi domains up the search engine rankings. You don't get this advantage with a sub-domain.
2. Use a sub-domain
If you use a sub-domain your new mobile website might be m.mydomain.com or mobile.mydomain.com.
This is perfectly acceptable and saves you the cost of a .mobi domain; but don't forget that you won't gain any advantage in the search engines if you use a sub-domain.
