Website hosting is an essential tool for businesses across the world because if their site does not have a host then it will not be on the Internet. Hosting plans can range in size and price depending on how much content the business will need to place on their site. Now, in the ever-growing popularity of being able to access the Internet from mobile phones, companies are beginning to build websites for access on mobile phones. The design is somewhat similar to their Internet website but there is less content and less flare since the screen on the phone is much smaller than a computer screen.
One of the hosting companies that is popular on the Internet for website hosting is Network Solutions, who we talked about in a previous post, has now released a program that allows small businesses to build mobile websites for customers to access their site on their mobile phone. The program is called BuildMyMobi Mobile Web Site Builder. The program is designed to help companies build .mobi websites for the mobile phone.
Studies released by different technology companies claim that more than 50 percent of cell phones in the country have access to the Internet and this number will surely increase as Americans continue to upgrade their phones roughly every 18 months. Since the .mobi domain name was registered in 2006 there have been over 650,000 .mobi websites launched in over 100 countries worldwide. These .mobi websites are being used by incredibly small businesses and large corporations alike to reach their customers via cell phones and PDAs.
