name
-
An archipelago and overseas territory of the United Kingdom in the Caribbean Sea.
“In the late 1990s, the tiny Caribbean nation of Anguilla was home to an interesting cluster of expatriates. With its nonexistent taxes and incredible beaches, it was the perfect place for self-employed computer geeks to develop projects during the dot-com boom.”
“With companies wanting internet addresses that communicate they are at the forefront of the A.I. boom — like Elon Musk’s X.ai website for his artificial intelligence company — Anguilla has recently received a huge influx in requests for domain names.”
