name.com, part of Identity Digital since January 2025, manages over 2 million domains and offers 600+ TLDs, including the popular .ai extension, with over 600,000 .ai domains registered globally. The platform’s AI-native approach aligns with the $5.5 billion domain registrar market’s growth, driven by 76% of businesses prioritizing digital identity, per 2025 industry reports. It competes with GoDaddy and Namecheap but stands out with its AI-first infrastructure, catering to solopreneurs, developers, and enterprises.
The domain registrar industry faces challenges like fragmented APIs and slow integration, with 88% of name.com’s surveyed users valuing natural language domain tools. Posts on X from @namedotcom, @IdentityDig, and @DInvesting reflect enthusiasm for the API’s launch, emphasizing its role in AI-driven workflows. The .ai domain’s popularity, generating $32 million for Anguilla in 2023, underscores demand for tech-focused TLDs, with name.com capitalizing on this trend. Competitors like Hostinger offer .ai domains at ₹8,729/year, but name.com’s API integration with MCP sets a new standard.
