## Questions

### What is the cheapest .ai registration?

\$49.99 for year 1 of a required 2-year term, \$209.98 up front at GoDaddy (a promotion; it renews at \$159.99). 31 registrars sell .ai.

### How much does .ai cost to renew?

The cheapest renewal is \$74.95 a year at Epik. Renewal is the price you pay every year after the first, so it matters more than the first-year price.

### What does a .ai domain cost over 3 years?

\$224.85 in total at Epik (\$74.95 a year on average), counting the first year and the renewals at the regular price.

### Where is it cheapest to transfer a .ai domain?

Epik, at \$74.95. A transfer usually adds a year to the registration.

### What does it cost to restore an expired .ai domain?

Restoring a .ai name from the redemption period costs from \$90.00 (IONOS). 13 of 31 registrars publish a restore price.

### Is .ai a teaser price?

At 1 of 31 registrars the renewal is at least 2× the first year (up to 3.2×). Compare the renewal and the total, not the first-year price.

### Is there a minimum registration term for .ai?

Yes: .ai names are registered for at least 2 years, and the totals here include that.
