About .ai

one honest minute

Anguilla's ccTLD became the most valuable two letters of the decade. Registrars have raised .ai prices repeatedly this year and two-year minimum registrations are common — check the renewal math twice before you brand around it.

Typical use: AI products, research labs, speculation. Right now the cheapest way in is $74.95 at Epik, the cheapest renewal on the market is $74.95/yr at Epik, and the best five-year total is $374.75 via Epik. If you're moving an existing name, transfers start at $74.95 and normally include a one-year extension.

FAQ

.ai pricing
How much does a .ai domain cost?
Right now the cheapest verified first-year price for a .ai domain is $74.95 at Epik, and the cheapest verified renewal is $74.95 per year at Epik. First-year promo prices usually apply once — always check the renewal before you commit.
Why is the .ai renewal price different from the first-year price?
Registrars discount the first year to win customers, then charge the regular rate from year two. On .ai the steepest step-up on today's board is ×2.3 — that gap is exactly why Domain.Guru always prints the renewal beside the promo.
What is the cheapest way to keep a .ai domain for 5 years?
The lowest verified 5-year total today is $374.75 via Epik — first year $74.95, then $74.95 per year, ICANN fees included where they apply. Our default ranking sorts by the same formula, computed over 3 years.
Can I transfer a .ai domain to a cheaper registrar?
Yes — a transfer usually includes a 1-year extension. The cheapest independently published .ai transfer right now is $74.95 at Epik. Domains must typically be 60+ days old and unlocked, with a transfer code from the current registrar.
