.ai Domain Age Checker

.ai is administered under the authority of the Government of Anguilla, and its adoption has exploded alongside the AI industry for the obvious reason: "ai" is the field's own abbreviation. Because it's a smaller ccTLD registry rather than a major gTLD operator like Verisign, WHOIS/RDAP data completeness can vary more than it does for .com or .net — treat a data-unavailable result here as genuinely inconclusive rather than a sign the domain isn't registered.

The .ai gold rush has also meant a lot of very recently registered domains making claims about being an established player — checking the actual creation date is one of the fastest ways to sanity-check an AI startup's own "founded in" claims, or to spot a domain that's been quietly re-registered after expiring and dropping.

If you're evaluating an .ai domain for acquisition, the Wayback Machine's history matters more here than on older TLDs — with registrations concentrated so heavily in the last few years, even a domain that looks aged from its creation date alone may have sat unused before its current owner picked it up.
