# .ai wholesale price rises to $160 for two years

February 2, 2026 · Summary of an article by Andrew Allemann, Domain Name Wire

From March 5, 2026, the .ai registry raised its wholesale price by $10 a year. A standard two-year registration or renewal now costs registrars $160, up from $140, before their own markup.

With about one million names in the zone, the author estimates the increase brings Anguilla around $9 million more per year after Identity Digital's share. Owners could lock in the old price by renewing before the deadline.
