.ai
.ai has become the default extension for AI products, and it comes with one rule that surprises most first-time buyers: the registry does not sell one-year terms. Every .ai registration and renewal runs for a minimum of two years. NamePo explains that rule plainly and shows live catalogue pricing when it is available — never an estimated figure.

.ai is the country-code extension for Anguilla, and its registry sets a minimum registration and renewal term of two years. There is no one-year option. This trips up buyers who compare .ai against .com on a per-year basis and then find the checkout total is roughly double what they expected. It is not a registrar markup and it is not a promotional structure — it is a registry rule that applies to every .ai domain everywhere, at every registrar.
.ai is used almost exclusively by artificial intelligence products, research groups, and technology companies that want the extension to do part of the positioning work. Unlike many country-code extensions, it carries no local presence requirement — you do not need to be based in Anguilla, or to have any connection to it, to register one. That combination of a short, meaningful extension and open eligibility is why demand rose sharply as AI products proliferated.
When live catalogue pricing is available, both the two-year registration total and the two-year renewal total appear here and again in your cart. If pricing is temporarily unavailable on this page, use the search above — the cart always shows the current catalogue total before payment.

Every .ai domain at NamePo includes full DNS management, registrar lock, optional auto-renewal, and email forwarding, in the same account as your hosting. WHOIS privacy availability on .ai is set by the registry rather than the registrar — the current status is shown at checkout.
There is no local presence requirement and no eligibility restriction on .ai. Any individual or company in any country can register one. The registry's minimum term of two years applies to both registration and renewal. Transfers follow standard registry procedure using an authorisation code, and the transfer adds a further two years to the term rather than one.
Unlock the domain at your current registrar, obtain the authorisation code, and start the transfer from your NamePo account. The transfer extends the registration by two years in line with the registry's minimum term. As with other extensions, a domain cannot be transferred within sixty days of registration or of a previous transfer.
