There is finally a solution: dotMobi.

dotMobi is the first and only top level domain dedicated to delivering the Internet to mobile devices. dotMobi will revolutionise the use of the Internet on mobile devices. dotMobi is designed to guide mobile users to made-for-mobile Internet content and services that can be accessed with confidence.

How should I use a dotMobi Domain Name?

An online compliance checker is provided on the .mobi site to ensure that your site is compliant.

We are committed to offering low prices and the best customer service in the industry. Don't just take our word for it - here is what two of our resellers recently said about their Heart Internet reseller account:

Justin Thomas, Platinum Internet, London

"I just wanted to write a quick note. I am overwhelmed at how much creative and technical control you give to resellers. I was with Fasthosts for nearly a year and nearly everything was an OPTIONAL extra! I am so impressed with the service and the easy-to-use control panels. Top notch! Cheers, Justin Thomas."

Mr Richthofen, South Rhins web Design, Galloway

"By moving to your servers, we saved a lot of money annually (and got a better service), which enabled us to offer discounts to our more favoured clients. Sites are easy to set up and install and the whole process is fairly straightforward (a lot more so than our last hosting company). Even complex migrations have been easier and swifter.

All things considered, moving to Heart Internet has been a very positive step for our company and we intend to remain with you for the foreseeable future."
