Anyone can register .ai domain names.

Registration restrictions

When registering a .ai domain, you must follow specific requirements.

• Must use: 1-63 characters
• Can use: Letters (a-z characters), numbers (0-9) and hyphens (except in the 1st or last characters of the domain name)
• Cannot use: Special characters (e.g., & and #)
• IDNs: Not supported

Features

• Registration length: 2,4,6,8 and 10 years
• Renewal length: 2,4,6,8 and 10 years
• You must renew your .ai domain name by its expiration date.
• If you set your domain name to auto-renew, we first attempt auto-renewal 20 days prior to the domain name's expiration date. If the renewal attempt fails, we re-attempt renewal 13 days prior to the domain name's expiration date. If the second attempt fails, we make a final attempt 6 days prior to the domain name's expiration date.
• For example: Your .ai domain name expires on January 31st. If your domain name does not renew automatically, you can renew it manually by that date. For automatic renewals, we attempt to renew the domain name on January 11th, January 18th, and January 25th.
• Due to time zone differences, registry updates to your .ai domain name occur very early in the day. If you decide to manually renew your domain name, we recommend that you do so prior to its expiration date.
• If we cannot auto-renew the domain name and you do not manually renew it by its expiration date, you can attempt to recover it, and there might be a fee to do so. See Renew my expired domain for instructions.
