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.

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 .ai

AI 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.

Day-to-day control

Why Manage Your .ai Domain with Truehost?

Securing the name is the first step. These account features help you connect services, handle messages and keep reliable access to the address your users rely on.

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.

Coming soon

Free business email

A no-cost mailbox option is planned. Until it arrives, choose a suitable paid service if your project needs one now.

Coming soon

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.

Confirm the spelling first

.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

  • Plain English letters without accent marks
  • Digits, including any that form part of your product name
  • A hyphen between words, never at the start or end
  • Combinations such as nova-labs24

Not accepted

  • Beginning or ending the label with a hyphen
  • Spaces, underscores or other symbols
  • Internationalised characters (IDNs are generally not supported)
  • Reserved spellings and names already held by others
Check Sample Spellings
CandidateFormat CheckExplanation
nova.aiValid spellingUses only permitted characters
nova-labs24.aiValid spellingCombines letters, a middle hyphen and digits
-nova.aiInvalid spellingA leading hyphen breaks the format rule
nova_labs.aiInvalid spellingThe 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

  • The legal holder’s full personal or organisational identity
  • An inbox that will receive registration notices
  • Correct contact and postal information for the holder
  • Your chosen spelling, already checked against the permitted format

What registration does not supply

  • Any form of official AI certification or accreditation
  • Exclusive legal rights to a brand or product name
  • Hosted mailboxes or web hosting as part of the name alone
  • A permanent registration with no future payments

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.

01Resolving

Active

Confirm that payment arrangements and contact details remain usable while the registration is current.

02Action due

Renewal Due

The displayed renewal charge is TSh 277,134. Complete payment early, especially if approval from another person is required.

03Grace period

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.

04Redemption

Recovery window

Once suspension begins, connected services stop. Recovery may still be possible for a limited time and can involve extra fees.

05Released

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.

Current catalogue prices. Savings compare the total with one year of registration plus annual renewals at today’s rates. Future renewal rates may change. Only available priced terms are listed.

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
  1. 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.

  2. 02

    Start the receiving order

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

  3. 03

    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

Ready for Your .ai Domain?

Search your preferred spelling now. Review availability, the registration charge and your chosen term before placing the order. Remember the typical two-year minimum.
