Identity Digital, a global leader in domain registry services, has announced its latest partnership with the Government of Anguilla to manage the .AI country code top-level domain (ccTLD). As .AI domain names continue to surge in popularity due to the growing interest in artificial intelligence, this move is expected to strengthen and expand the .AI namespace, which now boasts over half a million registrations.
Previously managed by a small team led by Vince Cate, the .AI domain has become one of the fastest-growing ccTLDs in the world. Given the increasing demand for .AI domains from tech companies and innovators, the partnership with Identity Digital marks a significant step forward in ensuring the infrastructure can support the rapid expansion.
Identity Digital’s Role in the Domain Industry
Identity Digital already serves as the back-end provider for hundreds of domain extensions, including other prominent ccTLDs like .IO, .AU, and .PR. The company is also responsible for the operation of well-known domains like .org, .info, and various niche domains such as .Bet, .Lawyer, and .Run.
By managing the technical backend for these domains, Identity Digital ensures smooth, efficient, and secure domain operations. Their expertise in running large-scale domain infrastructures will undoubtedly benefit the .AI namespace, which is increasingly becoming a prime digital real estate for businesses in the artificial intelligence sector.
Press Conference Highlights
A press conference held by representatives from Identity Digital and the Government of Anguilla provided more insights into the partnership and answered questions from media and domain industry experts. This collaboration is expected to enhance the management and availability of .AI domains as the demand continues to grow globally.
With the backing of Identity Digital’s robust infrastructure, .AI domain investors and those looking to purchase .AI names will likely benefit from improved security, stability, and domain management.
