The Extension
Why .biz?
In 2001 .biz turned up as an extension meant for bona fide business use, a pressure valve fitted to a .com register that had already filled beyond comfort. Style has never been its strong suit. Two decades on it is still doing the work asked of it: short, easy to say, and commercial on its face.
Being out of fashion is exactly where the practical opportunity lies. Names long gone everywhere else turn up unclaimed in .biz, and the shopkeeper's advice is to be straight with yourself about the trade-off you are making. As ever in here, the registration price and the renewal price are both on the tag before you pay.
Good Fit
.biz works best for
- Small firms who would rather have the name than the fashion
- Trades and services whose website works as a signpost rather than a brand
- Defending a business name across all the classic extensions
- Budget-conscious names for straightforward builds

Common Questions
Questions about .biz
Is .biz taken seriously?
Functional is how it reads, not fashionable. Fine for a trade or a service whose website exists to point people in the right direction. Weaker for a brand where the address forms part of the picture. Work out which sort of site you are running; .biz then either fits or it does not.
Are there restrictions on registering .biz?
The extension was created for bona fide business or commercial use, and that intention still sits in its rules. In practice, registering one is open and straightforward for anybody with a commercial purpose behind it.
Should I pick .biz over a newer extension?
Free in both? Then say your name with each ending and see which one you prefer hearing, then look at what each costs to renew. Those figures are printed beside the registration prices on this shelf, so you compare real numbers instead of guessing.
