.ai Domain Names
.ai domain names, taken before the next rush arrives
Two lucky letters turned Anguilla's country code into the address a whole industry now defaults to. Strong .ai names get fought over, and whatever is still free will not stay free for very long. Register from $77.99/yr, and the renewal figure appears on screen before payment.

The Extension
Why .ai?
Events have revalued no other ending the way they revalued .ai. Almost overnight, a small Caribbean territory's country code became the signature of the artificial intelligence boom: product launches, research labs and funded startups all reaching for the two letters that announce a category before the page has finished loading. Demand of that size has made the namespace competitive. Distinctive short strings disappear quickly, and the aftermarket in decent .ai names never stops moving.
A ccTLD is what this remains. Its registry writes the policy, not ICANN's gTLD contracts, and the small print diverges from .com at points any buyer deserves to hear about before signing anything, which is precisely the job a registrar exists to do. So: your name goes on the .ai record, the ongoing rate is printed next to the registration while you are still searching, and anything peculiar about the string you picked gets raised before checkout instead of afterwards.
Good Fit
.ai works best for
- AI products, labs and research groups
- Startups where the category is also the brand's first word
- Defensive registrations beside an existing tech brand
- Tools and platforms selling to technical audiences

The category in the address
Two letters telling an investor, a user and a search result what the company actually does. Nothing else signals half as hard.

On a hot ending especially, the figure worth seeing is what keeping it costs, quoted before enthusiasm takes the decision out of your hands.
ccTLD questions answered
Transfers, contact changes, how disputes get handled: rules for all of it come from the .ai registry, and we explain them before you build anything.
Common Questions
Questions about .ai
Is .ai actually a country's domain?
Yes, Anguilla's, a British Overseas Territory out in the Caribbean. Registration is open from anywhere to anyone, no residency requirement applies, and search engines read the ending as effectively generic, so the origin of the letters changes nothing about who may hold a name or how it ranks. What the revenue has genuinely done for the territory makes a rather pleasant footnote.
Somebody holds the .ai I want and has put nothing on it. Options?
Begin at the record. Whether waiting counts as a plan at all depends on the expiry date, though in a namespace running this hot a lapsing name gets caught inside hours. Approaching the holder quietly, direct or through a broker, with escrow standing behind any deal that completes, is generally the route that works. Meanwhile a distinctive variant costs one ordinary registration and lets you start building on something today.
Will a .ai shift between registrars the way a .com will?
Recognisable in shape: a transfer code out of the current registrar, a confirmation, then completion. All of it runs to the .ai registry's own policy rather than the gTLD rulebook, so the timings and the steps differ in their detail. Keep an eye on the registrant mailbox throughout, start well ahead of expiry, and the move is routine.
