Register your .ai domain

Unlike .com where you usually see quite consistent pricing, .ai domain names can vary in price quite dramatically. How in-demand the domain is at the time can also play a role. Because the popularity of the .ai domain has been rapidly increasing, many domain name investors got there first and bought as many sought-after domain names as possible in order to sell them at higher prices. This doesn’t mean you’re out of luck if the domain name you want is taken – send a quick email to the owner and find out how much they are willing to sell it to you for. Prices could range from under £1,000 to a few thousand pounds if you go down this route. Buying a .ai domain from IONOS gives you predictable and transparent pricing.

Many companies are turning their backs on the traditional .com domain extension in favour of more unique and sometimes descriptive TLDs. One reason for this is that there are increasingly few available .com domains left to choose from. Companies that are using .ai domains include uber.ai, facebook.ai, zoom.ai, and notebook.ai. These companies have realised that it makes sense to jump on the .ai domain bandwagon due to its rising popularity – in 2018, .ai replaced .net as the third most popular alternative domain extension.

Before 2009, it was necessary to show proof of a local presence in Anguilla in order to buy a .ai domain, but that’s not the case any more. .ai is now an unrestricted domain. Your domain name must be between 1 and 63 characters long. Numbers, letters, and hyphens are allowed, but no special characters. For .ai domain registration with IONOS, simply use the search field to make sure your desired name is available, add any extras such as a matching email address, web hosting, or WordPress, and then buy your .ai domain.
