Building resilience, security and stability for .AI names

The .AI top level domain (TLD) is an invaluable resource for the Government of Anguilla (GOA). It is also a part of critical global infrastructure. Businesses, organizations, and individuals worldwide depend on companies powered by .AI to solve problems, cure diseases, and streamline economies.

But when a hurricane slams into your country and takes power down for hours, if not days, will the websites, emails, and domain names that are behind hospitals, banks, and utilities keep working? What would happen if some of the most iconic services like ChatGPT, whose parent runs on a .AI domain name, goes down? Businesses worldwide expect critical global infrastructure like domain name registries to simply work continuously, 100% of the time, no excuses. And if a domain does go down, the expectation is that it is resolved very quickly. 

Starting January 15, 2025, all .AI names will be hosted by Identity Digital’s global server network and robust anti-abuse regime, mitigating threats and decreasing downtime. Our platform will offer global businesses and entrepreneurs a secure and reliable online destination. 

Here’s how we accomplish this:

1. .AI will upgrade to our modern cloud platform, running on AWS, which provides instant scalability, reliability, and security as part of its global service architecture. We will provide .AI to 1,800 registrars at any given time enabling millions of users. 
2. .AI will answer queries for its websites from over 80 countries, instantly distributing .AI names in milliseconds while resisting denial of service attacks (DDoS) and other online threats.
3. .AI’s new global server network provides greater resiliency in the face of natural disasters or other disruptions to Anguilla’s digital infrastructure. By decentralizing the hosting of .AI websites, users will no longer need to connect to the government’s digital infrastructure through a single internet cable to the island. This reduces the risk of downtime, and improves and speeds up access to these sites worldwide.

Identity Digital is committed to reducing downtime for businesses and communities relying on .AI — a critical step in safeguarding the infrastructure of the modern digital economy. It is our mission to ensure that Anguillan businesses, entrepreneurs, and global users can rely on .AI domains without interruption, maintaining the security, stability, and speed essential for today’s connected world. As the demand for the .AI TLD continues to grow, we are proud to offer a resilient, high-performance infrastructure that will support the evolution of this digital landscape for years to come.
