.ai
.ai domain checker
Check a .ai, and the handles you would want beside it.
Checked against the registry over RDAP, alongside every other ending and every social handle.
What .ai is
Anguilla's country-code domain — a Caribbean island of around fifteen thousand people whose two-letter code happened to become the most fashionable ending on the internet. Open to registration worldwide, with no local presence requirement.
Who it suits
Products where the artificial-intelligence association is the point and the audience is technical. It says what the company does before anyone reads a word of the site, which is a real asset while the association lasts.
The catch
Two things. The registry sells in multi-year terms rather than single years, so the cost of holding one is front-loaded compared with a .com — check the term before you assume the price you see is annual. And the association that makes it valuable is also a timestamp: a .ai reads as a company founded in this particular era, in a way a .com never will.
Common questions
Do I have to be in Anguilla to register a .ai?
No. There is no residency or local presence requirement — anyone worldwide can register one through an ordinary registrar.
Why is .ai more expensive than a .com?
Partly demand, and partly structure: the registry sells .ai in multi-year terms rather than one year at a time, so a single registration covers a longer period than the headline comparison suggests. Confirm the term at your registrar before comparing the numbers.
Should I take the .ai or the .com?
If the name is the product and the product is an AI product, the .ai does work the .com cannot. If the name is a company you expect to outlive one technology cycle, the .com is the one you regret not buying. Owning both is common for exactly this reason.
