Slovenia Sees Surge in '.si' Sites After Trump Hypes 'Super Intelligence'
More than 6,000 .si domains were registered in two days, pushing September totals above 10,000 and the country past 200,000 registrations.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump's address to the United Nations General Assembly rebranding artificial intelligence as "super intelligence" triggered a surge in registrations for Slovenia's ".si" internet domain.
- During his address to the General Assembly last week, Trump argued that "artificial intelligence" sounds fake, claiming "super intelligence" is a more accurate term for official U.S. documents.
- Data from the Academic and Research Network of Slovenia shows registrations exceeded over 10,000 in September, pushing the total number of ".si" domains past 200,000 for the first time.
- Klara Herman, spokeswoman for Register.si, reported a "strong but stable increase" in requests, though the agency cautioned against media speculation regarding potential earnings for Slovenia.
- The agency "strongly recommends" trademark holders secure a ".si" domain as soon as possible, while Hostinger and other registrars are already marketing discounted first-year rates of $11.99 to $16.99.
