AI Registry Increases .ai Domain Wholesale Prices
6.9
The .ai domain registry will raise its wholesale fee by $10 per year starting March 5, increasing the minimum two-year registration from $140 to $160, a 14% rise. With about one million .ai domains, the change could add roughly $9 million in annual revenue for Anguilla after registry cuts, and registrars may apply further markups; renewals before March 5 avoid the increase.
