The Extension
Why .biz?
Created in 2001 expressly for business use, .biz was the first serious answer to congestion on .com. Two decades later it is a known quantity. Support for it is universal, anyone reads it as commercial at a glance, and a large population of small and mid-sized businesses lives there. Availability stays dramatically better than in the namespace it was built to relieve.
Registration behaves like any open extension. Instant, worldwide, WHOIS privacy included, our anycast DNS answering inside the first minute. Where a business finds its exact name parked or ransomed on .com, .biz hands the name back for the price of 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
Does .biz look respectable, or does it read second-choice?
Real companies worldwide use it, it is a legitimate twenty-year-old business extension, and search engines handle it identically to any generic TLD. What decides the impression is presentation. Build a fast, well-made, SSL-secured site on .biz and it reads as precisely what it is, an established business online.
Are there requirements for registering a .biz?
Chartered for business or commercial use it may have been, but registration is open and no documentation is asked for. Sole traders, side businesses and companies all register direct. In practice it behaves like any other generic extension.
Which should I take, .biz or something newer like .online?
Both are open, both rank identically, so what you are really choosing is tone. .biz comes across terse and traditional. .online is modern and literal. Say each one next to your actual name and see which reads better. If the pair is free, taking both costs little and settles it for good.
