Registry SI spokesperson Klara Herman said September 2026 purchases rose 2199% from the previous month, with 11,000 domains registered on September 30 and roughly 13,000 in the most recent 24 hours.","whyItMatters":"The order did not mention Slovenia, yet the country's ccTLD absorbed the traffic, the same kind of accidental windfall Anguilla's .ai domains saw during the AI boom.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eRegistry SI attributes the spike directly to the executive order signed at the end of September 2026. Hostinger said .si became its second most popular domain after .com, with about 4,300 registrations on September 30 and 5,400 on October 1. More than three-quarters of its .si registrations since September 23 came in those two days. More than half of buyers were in the United States and India. Only about 3% of Hostinger\u0026#39;s .si registrations were clearly AI-related; most were uncategorized.
