## Who registers .ai in a company's name?

A .ai is the address of AI companies, models, tools and agents. Names are expensive and buyers often secure several before choosing one. Founders in a crowded field may not want competitors to read their name in a registry record before launch. With nominee registration, each .ai sits in our company's name and you keep full control.

## What the .ai registry receives, what WHOIS shows, what we keep

| Who | What they get for your .ai domain |
| --- | --- |
| Government of Anguilla | DomaineGoat LLC as holder, with the company's address. Nothing about you. |
| Public WHOIS / RDAP | The company as registrant, or fields the registry redacts. Never your name. |
| NomineeName | Your verified email and your orders. The email never goes to the registry. |
| You | Beneficial owner: DNS, renewals and the transfer code (free, from your account, at any time). |

## What does the .ai registry ask of a holder?

.ai is the country code of Anguilla. The Government of Anguilla is the registry, and Identity Digital operates it on its behalf. The registry sets no residence condition. Proxy privacy services are seen on .ai records, but not every registrar offers one. Here the question does not arise: the registrant record itself is our company's, so Anguilla's registry never receives your details.

## What should you check before registering .ai?

- **Two-year minimum**: the registry sells .ai for at least 2 years, for new names and renewals. Your first order covers 2 years at the yearly price shown above.
- **Transfers**: a .ai transfer is billed 2 years: the transfer price plus one renewal, $177.98, and the registry adds 2 years to the expiry date.
- **No accented names**: .ai does not support IDN characters.
- Top up enough balance for 2 years before you order.

## Frequently asked questions

### Why does a .ai cost two years up front?

The registry for Anguilla sets a 2-year minimum term, for registration and renewal alike. Every registrar has to follow it. Our price is shown per year, so the first payment is twice the yearly price. The same applies at renewal time.

### Can I move my existing .ai into your name?

Yes. Unlock it at your current registrar, get the transfer code and start the transfer from your account. The transfer is billed 2 years, the transfer price plus one renewal ($177.98), and the registry adds 2 years. Once it arrives, the registrant becomes our company. Steps: [move a domain into our name](https://nomineename.com/guides/move-a-domain-into-our-name/).

### Is .ai a country domain with local rules?

It is the country code of Anguilla, run by its government with Identity Digital as operator. Unlike many country codes, it sets no residence condition. The rules that matter in practice are the 2-year minimum term and the absence of accented names.

### Who owns a .ai domain held in your name?

DomaineGoat LLC is the registrant of record and you are the beneficial owner, under a written agreement in our [terms](https://nomineename.com/legal/terms/). Your transfer code: free, from your account, at any time. The hand-back of the .ai name to you is free, on request to support from your verified email address. It works where the registry accepts you as holder.

### Can a complaint take my .ai domain down?

Not on its own: copyright, defamation, political or competitor complaints need a decision from a Panamanian court. The strict exceptions have fixed delays: phishing, malware, botnets and fraud that takes money from victims within 24 hours of a well-documented report, child sexual abuse material immediately. See the [abuse policy](https://nomineename.com/abuse/).
