.ai
country-codeai
.ai is the country code top-level domain for Anguilla, a British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean. It is managed by the Government of Anguilla, which oversees registration through its designated telecommunications office. While it serves as Anguilla's official ccTLD, .ai became wildly popular internationally as a de facto domain for artificial intelligence companies and projects. There are no formal eligibility restrictions tied to residency or industry, so anyone can register a .ai name, though the registry recommends it for websites related to AI or the territory. The domain was first delegated in February 1995, which makes it one of the older ccTLDs. The registry's contact and technical operations are handled by the Government of Anguilla's Ministry of Infrastructure, Communications and Utilities, based in The Valley.
Eligibility and restrictions
No formal eligibility restrictions are listed in the IANA record. Registration is open to anyone. However, the domain is intended to serve Anguilla and the global AI community.
