Hostinger says .si is now its second most popular extension behind .com, with about 4,300 registrations on Sept 30 and 5,400 on Oct 1; Wix saw no meaningful uptick, GoDaddy doesn't yet host .si, and Squarespace hadn't responded. The pattern echoes the earlier .ai boom that generated millions for Anguilla. Why: If you are choosing a product or company domain right now, a US naming mandate has made a two-letter country code suddenly contested: Hostinger reports .si as its #2 extension and >75% of its .si registrations since late September landed in a two-day window, which means more squatting risk on <yourbrand>.si and possible registrar price moves. Decide explicitly whether .si (or the equivalent .ai-style variant) is worth a defensive registration, rather than assuming it will still be cheap and available next month. Note the counter-evidence: Wix saw no meaningful uptick, so the surge is concentrated in specific registrars, not universal. domains policy branding ai-hype
