Signal intelligence from the first click
Register a .ai Domain From 90.19 USD
Tech-forward. Memorable. Yours.
An Address Built for Intelligent Products.
When your product, model or research platform needs a name that immediately signals artificial intelligence, .ai delivers that cue. A project such as nova.ai can collect demos, documentation and developer interest under one concise, purpose-led destination.
- Lead with the category people already search for. Choose a brand or product label that pairs cleanly with the .ai ending.
- Speak to a global technical audience. The extension is widely recognised beyond its original country-code role.
- Grow without renaming. Launch with a simple landing page, then add docs, API portals or dashboards later under the same root.
Budget the full ownership cycle
.ai Domain Pricing
First-year cost is only one element. Review what you pay to claim an available name, extend it, or move an existing registration into your Truehost account. Note that .ai registrations typically require a multi-year minimum term.

Match the ending to the audience
.ai, .io or .com?
Different projects signal different priorities. An AI-native tool, a developer platform and a general commercial brand may favour different suffixes. Weigh recognition, availability and long-term cost.
| Align the Ending with Your Focus | .aiAI signal | .ioTech / startup | .comUniversal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical Audience | AI products, models & research | Developer tools & platforms | Broad commercial and consumer reach |
| Impression | Immediately AI-oriented | Technical / startup tone | No built-in category cue |

Practical applications
A .ai Domain for the Product You Are Shipping
A domain earns its keep when people actually use it. These examples show how one address can support a model demo, documentation hub or growing AI service.
Find Your .aiAI Product
Give Your Model a Clear Home
Offer one consistent address for demos, capability overviews and first contact.
Developer Tools
Surface Docs and APIs Cleanly
Point the domain at documentation, SDKs and status pages so technical users find what they need quickly.
Research & Labs
Share Findings Without Friction
Host papers, datasets and collaboration portals under a name that already signals the field.
Name Consistency
Cover How People Search for You
When both spellings are free, register .ai and a matching tech ending, then redirect one to the other.
After the name is secured
.ai Domain Management, Kept Simple
Once registered, the address needs clear routing for visitors and messages. Use the account tools to maintain those connections, monitor the registration and prepare for any future move.
DNS management
Enter the records supplied by your website or platform. Confirm the target carefully before overwriting an existing entry.
Nameserver control
Prefer another provider’s DNS? Apply its nameservers so that provider answers queries for the address.
Renewal management
Note the registration end date early enough to arrange payment and keep the public-facing name active.
Transfer support
Request guidance on shifting registrar responsibility, including the steps the registry expects.

Renewal cost appears separately, so you can plan beyond the initial registration period.
Free DNS management
Update website targets and verification records without purchasing a separate DNS-management product.
Free email forwarding
A forwarder sends incoming messages to an inbox you already use; it does not replace a full hosted mailbox.
2FA and domain lock
Enable two-factor authentication and available domain locks to reduce the chance of unauthorised account or transfer activity.
Free business email
A no-cost mailbox option is planned. Until it arrives, choose a suitable paid service if your project needs one now.
Free website builder
A free builder is also on the roadmap; do not treat it as available when budgeting for a site you need today.
Not available yet: the roadmap items above form no part of the current purchase. They should not be counted as included email hosting or an included website-building plan.
Connect the user journey
How to Put Your .ai Domain to Work
A visitor may first find your product online, open documentation and later access an account. Each step can share the same identity. Apply each service’s DNS requirements; different providers can still operate behind one domain.
- Invite people to explore the product at nova.ai.
- Receive questions via [email protected].
- Offer dedicated spaces such as docs.nova.ai and app.nova.ai.

.ai Domain Name Rules
Write the exact spelling before you search. The label to the left of .ai must follow the registry’s format rules, and a correctly formed spelling can still be reserved or already held by someone else.
Accepted in a .ai name
Not accepted
Check Sample Spellings
| Candidate | Format Check | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
nova.ai | Valid spelling | Uses only permitted characters |
nova-labs24.ai | Valid spelling | Combines letters, a middle hyphen and digits |
-nova.ai | Invalid spelling | A leading hyphen breaks the format rule |
nova_labs.ai | Invalid spelling | The underscore falls outside the allowed character set |
Gather the details you will need
Your .ai Registration Checklist
Individuals and organisations anywhere in the world may apply for .ai. No Anguilla residency, local contact or special documentation is required. Provide accurate details for the person or body that will hold the registration. Note the typical two-year minimum registration term.
Information you need
What registration does not supply
Before you register
Check related endings
Think about how someone who hears your product name might type it. Search any important variation before printing an address you may later want to change.
Review existing rights
A successful availability check is not a trade-mark clearance. Look at existing organisations and relevant rights before adopting a name for public use.
Use a lasting email address
Select an inbox you can still reach even if this domain later becomes unavailable. That simplifies registration queries and urgent account notices.

Protect a working address
What Happens If .ai Expires?
An expired address can interrupt more than a website: contact forms, API endpoints and user accounts may all depend on it. Arrange renewal before the end date. The registry’s recovery window is a final chance, not a planned renewal method.
Active
Confirm that payment arrangements and contact details remain usable while the registration is current.
Renewal Due
The displayed renewal charge is TSh 277,134. Complete payment early, especially if approval from another person is required.
Expired
During the initial grace window after expiry the address may still resolve. Act at once rather than treating continued service as proof of renewal.
Recovery window
Once suspension begins, connected services stop. Recovery may still be possible for a limited time and can involve extra fees.
Cancelled
After the recovery window closes the unrenewed name is scheduled for release. Another party may then register it; recovery is no longer assured.
Select a registration period
Plan Beyond the First Term
Compare the full price for each available term. Search for your name, then choose the registration period during checkout. .ai typically requires a minimum two-year term.
| Term | Total price | Savings vs annual renewal | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 year | TSh 457,600 | No saving | Search domains |
| 2 years | TSh 734,734 | No saving | Search domains |
| 3 years | TSh 1,011,868 | No saving | Search domains |
| 4 years | TSh 1,289,002 | No saving | Search domains |
| 5 years | TSh 1,566,136 | No saving | Search domains |
Select your term in checkout. Domain availability, applicable promotions, premium-name pricing and taxes are confirmed there.
Change registrar without renaming
Already Hold a .ai Domain?
You can switch the registrar without selecting a new product address. Prepare account access and DNS details first, then follow the standard transfer process. Registrar transfer and website migration remain separate tasks. Transfers often include a two-year renewal.
Transfer — TSh 270,400- 01
Prepare account access
Locate the current registrar login and confirm who is authorised to request changes. Keep a record of the working DNS configuration.

Start the receiving order
Begin a Truehost transfer for the exact .ai spelling and obtain the instructions for accepting it.

Finish the transfer steps
Follow the authorisation process from the current registrar and Truehost. Confirm that existing website and mail destinations remain correct after the handover.
Questions before you decide
.ai Domain FAQs
Practical answers for teams and projects choosing an address, connecting services or moving an existing registration.
Is .ai restricted to Anguilla residents or AI companies?
No. Anyone worldwide may register a .ai domain. There is no residency, citizenship or local-presence requirement, and no need to prove an AI-related activity. The applicant must still supply accurate details and meet the registry’s terms.
Why is the minimum term usually two years?
The registry sets a minimum registration and renewal period of two years. One-year terms are not available. Confirm the exact options and pricing shown at checkout for your order.
Does .ai improve search rankings for AI products?
No ending guarantees a ranking position. Choose an address that fits your product, then focus on useful content, a usable website and clear documentation. The domain should support that work, not replace it.
Can I register the name before the product is ready?
Yes. You can secure an available registration while the product or site is still in development. Keep contact details and renewal arrangements up to date, and connect hosting when you have pages ready to publish.
Does registration include a working email inbox?
No hosted mailbox is created simply by registering an address. Choose a mailbox product if you need to send and receive project email; a forwarding feature serves a different purpose and routes messages into an existing inbox.
Must website and email use the same provider?
No. Your website can use one compatible platform and your mail another. Apply each provider’s DNS instructions carefully so a website change does not unintentionally interrupt incoming messages.
Can I keep .ai indefinitely?
You can retain the registration by renewing it while eligible and complying with the applicable terms. It is not a one-time permanent purchase. The registry allows multi-year terms up to ten years; the options offered in your order appear at checkout.
What if my preferred product name is already taken?
Try a clear, relevant variation that people can remember, or consider a different ending. Avoid a confusing imitation of another organisation. Do not assume that an inactive-looking website means the registration is available to buy.
Should a matching .io or .com point to the same website?
If you control both registrations, you can choose a primary address and configure the other to redirect there. Buying .ai does not automatically give you .io or .com; check and acquire the matching registration separately if it matters to your brand.
Why must registration details stay accurate?
The registry or registrar may need to contact you about the registration. Outdated details can make validation, account recovery and urgent notices harder to handle. Update them when your organisation moves, changes leadership or replaces its contact inbox.
Is transferring a .ai domain the same as moving hosting?
No. A registrar transfer changes who administers the registration. Website files, databases and mailboxes may remain where they are. If you also want new hosting, plan that migration separately and coordinate any DNS changes. Transfers often include a two-year renewal.
Can I recover a .ai after services stop?
Possibly, if the registration is still inside the registry’s recovery window. Contact the registrar promptly once expiry is noticed; once the name is fully released, recovery is no longer guaranteed and another party may register it.
Choose the address your users will type
