In the digital era, the importance of domain names is self-evident. Alibaba Cloud announced a significant development at the Wanwang Renewal Launch: their domain name product services have undergone AI transformation, introducing the first domain name AI application based on the Tongyi large model. Additionally, over 40 new domain name suffixes, including ".ai", have been launched, marking the official availability of ".ai" domain names for registration.
The upgraded Alibaba Cloud Wanwang now features a smart naming function. Users simply need to input their brand information and industry, click once, and the Tongyi large model will generate creative domain names in bulk, automatically screening for availability and providing domain meanings. This innovation transforms the cumbersome "brainpower" process of domain registration into an efficient "computing power" era.
China, the world's second-largest domain name holder, boasts 31.6 million domain names, accounting for 9.4% of the global total. However, with the increasing scarcity of domain name resources and frequent cyber-attacks, the domain name industry urgently needs technological innovation. Alibaba Cloud Wanwang's AI transformation is based on technological innovation and industry experience, aiming to upgrade user experience, business models, and rights, thereby revitalizing the traditional domain name industry with greater and newer value.
Gao Kun, General Manager of Alibaba Cloud's Small and Medium Enterprises Application Division, stated that with the advent of the large model era, the domain name industry has encountered new opportunities for AI transformation. Alibaba Cloud Wanwang fully embraces AI, bringing new vitality to the domain name industry.
Statistics show that finding a satisfactory domain name typically requires over 50 queries. However, Alibaba Cloud's smart naming application, leveraging AI technology, can complete this process with a single click, significantly improving the efficiency of domain registration. Moreover, Alibaba Cloud has expanded its popular domain name resources, with ".ai" domain registrations increasing by 72.96% year-on-year in 2023.
Alibaba Cloud's new offerings include over 40 new domain name suffixes such as ".ai", ".car", and ".me", with over 200 types of registrable domain name suffixes and more than 20 million tradable global domain names. From domain registration to website construction, ICP备案, DNS resolution services, and domain value assessment, Alibaba Cloud has comprehensively integrated and upgraded its domain-related product services.
To date, Alibaba Cloud Wanwang has registered over 40 million domain names, serving more than 2 million users. This move by Alibaba Cloud not only provides users with more choices but also brings new development opportunities to the domain name industry.
