Full dossier

Analysis complete

Page Content

The site presents itself as the official .ai registry operator website. It includes accurate information about .ai as a ccTLD for Anguilla that has evolved into a globally-recognized domain for AI projects. The page contains legitimate registrar onboarding steps, contact information (techsupport@identity.digital), and links to WHOIS, FAQ, privacy policy, and registrar portal — all consistent with an official registry operator.

Infrastructure

The domain uses valid SSL issued by Google Trust Services with 79 days remaining. Hosting IP 185.230.63.107 has an abuse score of 22/100 with 7 historical abuse reports, which is typical for shared hosting infrastructure. The page loads external resources from legitimate CDNs (static.parastorage.com, Wix) and Identity Digital's own services (whois.identitydigital.services, registrar.identitydigital.services), all consistent with a professional registry operation.

Domain History

nic.ai was registered approximately 3,105 days ago (around 2017), making it an established domain with a long operational history. WHOIS privacy protection is disabled, and the registrar is listed as Registry Operator (ID 9999). The domain is ranked in the global top-100k by traffic, indicating substantial legitimate use.

Risk Factors

Hosting IP has 7 historical abuse reports and a 22/100 abuse score, though this is typical for shared infrastructure used by legitimate services.
No email address uses the site's own domain (all contact is via identity.digital), though this is standard practice for registry operators using centralized support infrastructure.

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

Double-check the exact URL in your address bar
Confirm you are actually on nic.ai and not a lookalike like n-ic.ai.com or an IDN homoglyph.
Use a password manager
Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.
