Text Joyce Clark directly with your questions or ideas. [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2505433/open_sms] In this deep-dive episode of DNCast – The Domain Insiders Podcast, host Joyce Clark takes you through the origins of the .ai extension — from its start as the country code for Anguilla to becoming one of the hottest signals in tech. We uncover how much revenue .ai brings to the island, why renewal fees are higher, and who manages the extension today. Then we go head-to-head: .ai vs .com. Which builds more trust? Which lowers your CAC? When should you launch on .ai and when should you secure the .com? We break down SEO impact, investor strategies, migration playbooks, and real-world examples. Finally, we look ahead to 2026–2030: why .ai’s relevance isn’t going anywhere, what will happen to premium vs mediocre .ai names, and why you need to adapt now or risk being left behind. If you’re a founder, investor, or just curious about the domain market’s next moves, this episode is your roadmap. Subscribe Today!
