About .ai
The country code of Anguilla, popular with AI companies.
- Renews
- $79.98 to $179.58 a year
- Shortest term
- 2 years
- Registry
- Government of Anguilla
- Who can register
- Open to anyone. The registry sells it two years at a time, so the first purchase covers two years.
Registrars often sell the first year below their own cost and earn it back on renewals. Compare the 3‑year total, not the first year.

How we collect prices
Each registrar's public price for a standard name, read weekly from its own site, in US dollars at the day's ECB rate; taxes not included unless the registrar shows them. Premium and reserved names cost more, and prices change: the registrar's page is the final word. We don't sell domains and earn nothing from any registrar. A registrar can ask to be removed at hello@dnsdoctor.dev.
