Cheapest .ai Domain: FAQ

Still have a question?Ask Pritam directly. Every message is read.Ask a question
What is the cheapest .ai domain?

Spaceship at $79.98 a year (₹7,595). Because .ai is sold for at least 2 years, you pay $159.96 (₹15,190) up front. Cloudflare is $160 for the same 2 years. Checked 2 Nov 2026.

What is the .ai domain price in India?

About ₹15,190 for 2 years at Spaceship, billed in dollars. In rupees, BigRock is ₹16,798 plus GST for 2 years (₹19,822), Hostinger India ₹17,436 plus GST and GoDaddy India ₹19,998 plus GST.

Why is a .ai domain so expensive?

The .ai registry, run for the Government of Anguilla, charges registrars a high fee and sells only 2-year terms. No registrar can go much below about $80 a year.

Can I buy a .ai domain for 1 year?

No. Every registrar we checked that states the term asks for a minimum of 2 years for .ai, both to register and to renew.

Is the ₹4,699 .ai at BigRock a good deal?

Not over 2 years. ₹4,699 is year one of a 2-year purchase; year two is ₹12,099. With GST that is ₹19,822, more than Spaceship’s $159.96 (₹15,190).

Can I get a .ai domain free?

No host gives .ai free with hosting, because the registry fee is too high. See our free .ai domain guide for the cheapest way.
