ICANN87: New AI TLDs, or Better Domain APIs for Customer Onboarding?

[NiceNIC]

The new gTLD discussions at ICANN87 in Bali put more naming options in front of registries and registrars. For hosts, there's also the question of what AI agents need to get a customer online.

New extensions could broaden the offer. Better APIs could connect domain selection, clear renewal pricing and DNS setup without sending the customer through several separate steps.

Which would improve your hosting service more: new AI-focused TLDs, or better domain APIs for customer onboarding?

Better domain APIs for customer onboarding due to it being naturally faster than AI (that's the workflow AND the loading times!).

For hosting customers, getting a domain registered and DNS working fast matters a lot. A good API makes that whole process easier, and it may really doesn't need AI to do it.
