Manage your account on the move with your iPhone/Android smartphone

Did you know the new x3 control panel has a special mobile version for use with many smartphone devices? You can log in to your control panel using the standard web browser on your iPhone or Android phone and manage your account from wherever you are and at any time.

Care has been taken to ensure the mobile control panel works quickly and doesn’t use up enormous amounts of your data allowance – almost all images are hidden when you’re using a smartphone and the interface is simplified to fit on small screens and work well on devices with limited input capabilities.

The control panel examples below show the mobile control panel, as seen on a Samsung Galaxy S2, managing a fictional tom-test.co.uk account:

Our Instant Mobiliser service can automatically make similar changes to your website by automatically translating what’s on your website into a format suitable for most mobile devices.

It cleverly rearranges the layout of a website to limit content to the width of the screen, helping you to avoid unnecessary scrolling. Images are also reduced in size so they fit on the screen and don’t use up too much of your data allowance. The example below is from a portion of the freevirtualservers.mobi website which is a mobilised version of freevirtualservers.com:

Instant Mobiliser is included for free with every .MOBI domain name. At £19.99 per year this is a bargain, saving you development costs and enabling a mobile version of your website with minimal fuss.

(Note: one thing the Instant Mobiliser won’t do is convert Flash, if you have a Flash website some elements may not display on a mobile device!)
