Domain investors are now making a killing from a small investment as low as $150 / $75 per year.
Their 2 years registration policy has greatly contributed to the island GDP which has surpassed that of Tourism. Other islands should learn from this ! Many ccTLD’s have the same potential if only opened to the entire world wide web user, which stands at 5B+ to register and own these digital assets. Early .ai domainers are now reaping the rewards. The highest sold .ai confirmed by escrow.com CEO Matt Barrie was $1.5M, flipped from a $300,000 investment in the same year. Others like You.ai sold for $700K.

Since early 2020, sceptics have been calling this .ai race a fad, a bubble, a domain gold rush and hype, yet this key extension now sits comfortably as the 3rd most registered TLD worldwide in 2024. For how long? We think for much longer than the cynics. AI is bigger than than the internet. It is a personal assistant, the perfect time saver for most administrative and mathematical tasks, excel is now too easy to insert from a simple prompt.
This success is mainly contributed with the global adoption and race for AI. Companies and startups are opening in record numbers with VCs pouring billions into their ideas and prototypes. Many failed, but several unicorns like ChatGPT, X.ai, Meta LLama and Google’s Gemini are leading the AI revolution. Most AI companies only use the .ai to start and once cash-rich, they secures their .com. There is no secret that .com is king and a much more valuable digital asset. If you can own both then you are doing well. We also noticed that the Big 3 – Meta, Apple and Visa also secured their .ai as well as their .com.ai. Apple.ai, Meta.ai Visa.ai and even Emirates.ai have all already secured their .ai brand and are redirecting them to their .com. Com.ai already found some serious support and takers amongst Meta, Visa and Apple. Meta.com.ai was registered this June 2024, not yet used, Visa.com.ai and Apple.com.ai both redirect to their .com website.
But, why is that the big 3 Tech companies are also registering 3rd domain extensions, also known as subdomain?
A sign to the other smaller players that the Big Tech companies are investing in their own brand protection. If you do not have the budget to own the .ai, then .com.ai is the perfect extension for you to secure those premium one word keywords and domains. Premium domains like Hi.com.ai, ArtificialIntelligence.com.ai and Robots.com.ai are all available for sale on the global domain marketplace DN.com.

IT.com – The Perfect IT extension for Start-ups and IT companies
IT.com which was launched earlier in 2023 and saw the world’s biggest IT company secure their extension.
who.is/dns/Microsoft.it.com confirmed it. 
If Microsoft ,the world’s biggest IT company has already secured their .IT.com, then your company should seriously think about securing yours too.
Many IT companies like jobs.it.com and the IWA.it.com – International Women’s Alliance (IWA), a global community dedicated to empowering women and fostering female entrepreneurshipc are using the IT.com extension for their website.
It is hard to find premium IT keywords let alone on a dedicated IT.com extension. A visionary company which is specializing in premium IT.com domains probably has what you are looking for: enterprise.it.com.
Domains like internet.it.com, online.it.com, DeFi.it.com, WiFi.it.com and 100s more are available.
Why invest in IT.com ?
It is on the .com core zone which means link facility and authority !
The .it extension which is the ccTLD for Italy has been mainly used by IT companies. Not anymore with the arrival of IT.com.
Get ahead of the game and secure both your IT.com and .com.ai domains since most of the .ai are already taken and highly priced.
We are yet to hear of other premium .ai .com.ai and .it.com sales record this 2024 and 2025.
