.ai is the country-code extension of Anguilla, and it has become the go-to extension for AI startups. Industry and press reports say registrations passed one million around the turn of 2026, and the extension is a major source of government revenue for the island.

On the sales charts

DNJournal's 2026 year-to-date ccTLD chart (through October 4, 2026) is full of .ai names. Examples include Bot.ai ($1,200,000 at Sedo), Act.ai ($375,000 via Spaceship) and Orchestra.ai ($250,000). In 2025, Wisdom.ai ($750,000) topped DNJournal's ccTLD chart.

Before you buy a .ai

  • Renewal fees for .ai are higher than for .com and vary by registrar, so check before you commit.
  • Check the minimum registration term at your registrar.
  • If a matching .com exists, consider who owns it. Visitors often type .com by habit.
