.biz is a generic domain for businesses. It was added to the root zone on 26 June 2001, and together with .info it was one of the first new generic extensions after the original group like .com, .net and .org.
It was created as an option for businesses when good .com names were already getting hard to find.
.biz was launched by NeuLevel, a company mostly owned by Neustar, and Neustar ran it for almost 20 years. In 2020, GoDaddy bought Neustar's registry business, and GoDaddy Registry now runs .biz.
.biz is a restricted domain intended primarily for business or commercial use. While registrars do not require company documentation to register, names used solely for personal or non-business purposes may be challenged under registry rules. If your project is not business-related, consider a different domain extension.
Small businesses, online shops, consultants and service companies all use .biz, often when the matching .com was taken. It clearly says "business", which most generic domains don't.
.biz has been around a long time and is widely recognised, but it's much less common than .com. In its early years, it was heavily discounted, and some people still connect it with low-quality sites. If you choose it, a clear brand and a professional website matter even more.
