.ai domain questions, answered

Where can I buy a premium .ai domain?

On 4ai.ai, a marketplace that owns and sells 254 premium .ai domain names: short, numeric, quantum, crypto, AI & tech and brandable names. You make an offer, get a reply within 24 hours, pay through Escrow.com and pay no buyer fees. Other places to find .ai names are aftermarket platforms such as Sedo, Afternic and Spaceship, and auctions of expired .ai domains.

What is the most expensive .ai domain ever sold?

The largest publicly reported .ai sale is Bot.ai at $1.2 million (Sedo, February 2026). Earlier records were Wisdom.ai at $750,000 (2025) and You.ai at $700,000 (2023). AI.com sold for about $70 million, but that is a .com name.

How much does a .ai domain cost?

A new .ai registration costs registrars $160 wholesale for the required two years (since March 2026), plus their markup. Premium names on the aftermarket range from a few thousand dollars to six or seven figures, depending on length, words and demand. See our .ai domain value guide.

How many .ai domains are registered?

More than one million since January 2026, up from about 48,000 in 2018.

Who runs the .ai domain?

.ai is the country code of Anguilla. Since January 2025 the registry has been managed by Identity Digital, and most of the revenue goes to Anguilla's government. Anyone in any country can register a .ai domain.
