About this extension

The country code of Anguilla in the Caribbean. Once AI companies adopted it, it became one of the fastest-growing extensions anywhere and a significant source of revenue for Anguilla. The extension belongs to the Government of Anguilla; Identity Digital runs the registry platform, and the record is read from its RDAP server.

What a .ai WHOIS record shows

Country-code extensions are not bound by ICANN's generic-TLD rules: Identity Digital decides which fields are published and when an expired name is deleted. The result page shows whatever the registry's RDAP server publishes.

Next to the registration data you get live DNS, SPF/DMARC, the TLS certificate, the HTTPS response and the abuse history of the hosting addresses on ip-db.com. Type just a name (e.g. example) and .ai is added; the same data is available from the JSON API.
