The Extension
Why .biz?
.biz was created in 2001 expressly for business use, as the first serious answer to .com congestion. Two decades on it is a known quantity: universally supported, recognised at a glance as commercial, and home to a large population of small and mid-sized businesses — with availability that remains dramatically better than the namespace it was built to relieve.
It registers like any open extension: instantly, worldwide, with WHOIS privacy included and our anycast DNS answering from the first minute. For a business whose exact name is parked or ransomed on .com, .biz recovers the name itself for a routine registration.
Good Fit
.biz works best for
- Small and mid-sized businesses
- Trades and local services
- Exact business names unavailable on .com
- Established firms wanting a no-nonsense commercial address

Common Questions
Questions about .biz
Is .biz respectable, or does it look second-choice?
It is a legitimate, twenty-year-old business extension used by real companies worldwide, and search engines treat it identically to any generic TLD. Presentation is what decides the impression: a fast, well-built, SSL-secured site on .biz reads as exactly what it is — an established business online.
Are there requirements for registering a .biz?
It was chartered for business or commercial use, but registration is open and no documentation is required — sole traders, side businesses and companies all register directly. In practice it behaves like any generic extension.
Should I pick .biz or a newer extension like .online?
Both are open and rank identically, so it is a tone decision: .biz is terse and traditional; .online is modern and literal. Check which reads better next to your actual name — and if both are free, the pair costs little and settles the question permanently.
