Information about .AI

About .AI

Join the AI revolution by registering a .ai domain name. This domain is well-known globally and will establish your position in the world of AI, showing your audience how innovative your solution is.

Did you know that a .ai domain name is actually a country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Anguilla, a small Caribbean island located east of Puerto Rico?

With the rise of artificial intelligence, many entrepreneurs and large companies have opted for .ai as the domain for their websites.

Why choose a .ai domain name?

Quickly register the name of your solution to secure your brand identity. Once registered, this becomes exclusively yours, and no one can deliberately or accidentally assign it to another website. In addition, if your business is focused on artificial intelligence, technology, IT or other related fields, using a .ai domain can strengthen your brand image and clearly indicate your expertise in these areas.

How do I choose a .ai address?

A web address is often the first thing people notice before they even visit a website. It must be short, easy to remember and write (on a computer or smartphone).

Keep it simple – no accents, excessive dashes, or numbers.

Before reserving a domain name, double-check that the trademark is not already registered by a company. If this is the case, you may receive a complaint from the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), who could then seize the domain name. ICANN is the body responsible for overseeing domain names and IP addresses on the internet.

Is .ai new on the market?

It would not be entirely accurate to say so.

The .ai top-level domain is actually the country code extension (ccTLD) assigned to Anguilla, a British Overseas Territory located in the Caribbean. It was introduced in 1995, and was originally intended for use by entities affiliated with Anguilla.

However, because it closely resembles the abbreviation “AI” (for artificial intelligence), the .ai domain has become increasingly popular among companies and organisations in technology, artificial intelligence, computing, and other related fields. This is now widely used by those seeking to build an online presence in these fields and pass on their know-how in this area.

Can I change my domain name?

If your business has changed, then you can change your domain name. To make a domain change, follow these steps: save your website, select a new domain name, redirect your old content to the new domain, and inform Google and other search engines about this change.

Is it possible to renew a .ai domain name for one year?
