.ai hits 1.28 million names, up 28% in five months
The .ai extension keeps growing at a pace few domain endings have ever seen. It passed one million registered names on 2 January 2026, and by early June the count had reached 1,277,727, according to Domain Name Stat, the figure also used on Wikipedia’s .ai page. That is growth of about 28% in roughly five months.
What is driving it
- New AI companies. Thousands of AI start-ups launch every month, and .ai is the natural home for them.
- Products and features. Established companies register .ai names for their AI products, assistants and agents.
- Defensive registrations. Brands protect their names on .ai as AI search and assistants become part of everyday life.
Some forecasts put the total near 1.7 million by the end of 2026. Growth on that scale also funds the extension: Anguilla, which owns .ai, earned US$80 million from the fees in the first seven months of the year.
Why growth makes premium names more valuable
Every new registration takes another name out of the pool. Short names, numbers and common words were registered long ago, so the only way to get one is to buy it from its owner. That is why three-digit and three-letter .ai names regularly sell for five and six figures. Our .ai domain statistics page tracks registrations, revenue and sales in one place.
