Namecheap has secured the rights to auction expiring .AI domain names, moving forward with this new arrangement after acquiring the responsibility from Dynadot. Richard Kirkendall, CEO of Namecheap, confirmed this change in a post on X.
Earlier that same day, Vincent Cate, the former operator of the .AI registry until its recent transition to Identity Digital, communicated to customers that they could no longer oversee auctions via their platform. Most prior auction activities had been conducted through Dynadot, which operated on behalf of the .AI registry.
The shift in auction management had been anticipated; last month, Ram Mohan, Chief Strategy Officer of Identity Digital, indicated to Domain Name Wire that they were reviewing the procedure concerning expired domain auctions with the government of Anguilla.
Namecheap’s approach will see the introduction of daily auctions on its platform, in contrast to the previous monthly schedule maintained by Dynadot.
