Why Do .AI Domains Cost More Compared to Other Domain Extensions?

[Delaney martin]

Oh yeah, .ai domains are pricey! The main reason is that they’re technically a country code TLD (ccTLD) for Anguilla, a small Caribbean island. The Anguillan government sets a high wholesale price for these domains—around $140 as a base fee—which drives up the retail cost. Plus, you can’t register them for just one year; there’s a two-year minimum registration period that doubles the upfront cost.

Hi, Clay

The higher cost reflects growing demand and the strong brand appeal of .AI domains.
