Why .ai is the new .com for AI startups

Anguilla's once-obscure ccTLD has become the de-facto extension for AI-first companies. Here's the 2026 outlook.

Pricing reality

Average .ai retail: $58–$99/year. Porkbun: $55.13. Spaceship: $58.98. Avoid GoDaddy's $99.99 list price.

Brand signal

Investors and customers now read .ai as a positive signal, not a quirky choice. SaaS landing pages with .ai see 12% higher dev signup conversion (Dompryce internal data).

How to choose

If your product *is* AI infrastructure, go .ai. If AI is one feature, .com or .io still wins.
