Slovenia’s .si Domain Registrations Jump 9,780 in 24 Hours as Trump Rebrands AI as SI

Summary
9,780 new .si domains were registered in the 24 hours after Donald Trump’s executive order recast artificial intelligence as “super intelligence,” far above normal demand for Slovenia’s country-code suffix.
That one-day burst exceeded the previous month’s total of 3,515 registrations and dwarfed last year’s pace of about 2,726 a month, or 110 a day.
Slovenia’s registry has typically sold .si names for about $10, making them far cheaper than Anguilla’s .ai domains, which currently fetch about $90.
The spike shows how Trump’s terminology shift is already reshaping internet branding, while also fueling online speculation about whether Melania Trump’s Slovenian roots influenced the SI label.
