Frequently asked questions about .ai
Why does .ai cost more than .com?
The .ai is the ccTLD of the Caribbean territory of Anguilla. Because it has limited supply and very high demand from AI companies (OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, Hugging Face, etc.), the registry charges a wholesale of around USD 130-180/year. The price passes on that cost + Brazilian taxes.
Can anyone register a .ai?
Yes. There is no restriction by country, CPF, CNPJ or type of use. An individual can register it normally. The only requirement is a valid contact email.
How long does activation take?
The .ai activates in ~3 minutes after payment is confirmed. There is no manual processing queue like .com.br.
Do I have to renew every year?
The minimum registration for .ai is 2 years (set by the Anguilla registry). You can pay 2, 5 or up to 10 years in advance. Renewal is the same as the initial registration — no extra charge.
Can I use .ai with a Brazilian server?
Yes, fully. The TLD imposes no hosting restriction. You manage DNS from our panel and point it to any server — including our Brazilian hosting (very low latency for Brazilian visitors).
Is there WHOIS privacy on .ai?
Yes. The Anguilla registry supports a privacy proxy and we enable it by default at no extra cost — your name, phone and address stay hidden in the public WHOIS.
Is .ai worth it for a non-AI company?
It depends. Today .ai is strongly associated with AI — using it for another niche can be confusing. But since it is short and premium, some creative businesses (studios, agencies) use it for aesthetics. If your brand has some connection to technology, it is worth considering.
