Find Your Perfect .AI Domain

.ai is a top-level domain (TLD) originally assigned to the Caribbean island of Anguilla. Over the past decade, it has been widely adopted by artificial intelligence companies, tools, and research organizations worldwide. Today it functions as a de facto industry signal — if you're building something in the AI space, a .ai domain immediately communicates that to visitors, investors, and press.

.ai domains typically cost between $60–$120 AUD per year to register, with renewal prices in the same range. Prices vary by registrar. Namecheap is a popular choice because of transparent pricing and free WHOIS privacy. Compared to the value of securing your brand identity early in the AI space, the registration cost is minimal.

Yes. Unlike some country-code TLDs that require local presence or citizenship, .ai domains are open for registration by anyone worldwide — individuals, companies, and organizations regardless of location. There is no residency or business registration requirement.

If your first-choice .ai name is taken, try common variations: add a verb prefix like "get", "use", "try", or "build" (e.g. getmyapp.ai), append "hq", "app", or "labs" (e.g. myapp-labs.ai), or use an abbreviated version of your brand name. You can also use the AI Domain Generator on Namecheckly to generate brandable alternatives and check their availability instantly.

Yes — if it's available, you should register both .ai and .com to protect your brand in Australia. Even if your primary domain is .ai, users and search engines sometimes default to .com, and a competitor or domain squatter could register it and create confusion. At minimum, register the .com and set up a redirect to your .ai. Namecheap makes it easy to manage multiple domains under one account.
