What to know before you buy
The first-year price is usually a promo; the renewal is what you pay every year after, so weigh the 3-year total, not just the sticker price. Cloudflare sells .ai at cost (first year and renewal are equal), which often wins over time even when a promo looks cheaper up front. Availability is per name: a specific .ai may already be taken even if the extension is cheap.
Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest registrar for a .ai domain?
For the lowest first-year price, Spaceship at $68.98. For the best value over time, Spaceship at $206.94 over three years (renewal $68.98/yr). Because renewals often exceed the first-year promo, compare the 3-year total.
Does a .ai domain cost more to renew than to register?
Often yes. Many registrars discount the first year and charge a higher standard rate afterwards. The table shows first-year and renewal side by side so you can see the real cost.
Are all .ai domains the same price?
Standard .ai names cost the same at a given registrar. A small number of premium names are priced higher by the registry; the registrar checkout will show if a specific name is premium.
