Country flagLogo for .ai Domain

Artificial Intelligence has become one of the hottest topics in the tech world - and everywhere else for that matter. If you run a business, blog, or software in the ai / automation space, .ai is a great choice for your website. 700+ top companies are already using .ai domains for their primary websites, such as Lavender, Genesis Therapeutics, and Suki.

Originally, the .ai domain extension was created in 1995 as a ccTLD (country code Top-Level Domain) for Anguilla, a small British territory in the Caribbean. While many regional websites around this island still use the extension to represent the country, .ai has expanded to worldwide use to signify Artificial Intelligence.

According to Google, searches for ai domains have shot up exponentially, with a remarkable 203% increase in the past year due to industry game changers such as ChatGPT. Whether you’re serving a local or global community, now is the time to buy a .ai domain.
