Big Changes for .AI Expiry Auctions

Namecheap CEO Richard Kirkendall has shared many .AI domain name sales over the last year or so. NameBio lists more than 1,000 .AI domain name sales at Namecheap in its database.

This afternoon, Richard shared a handful of high value .AI domain name sales. He also shared some pretty big news about .AI expiry auctions going forward. Expired .ai domain names will now be auctioned exclusively at Namecheap. In addition, the auctions will be conducted daily rather than once a month as they had been running previously.

I recently bought two .AI domain names at auction at Namecheap, and I like its auction platform.

As you may know, the .AI ccTLD registry is now being managed by Identity Digital on behalf of the government of Anguilla. I reached out to a representative from Identity Digital to ask about this change, and I will share an update if I am given one.
