.biz domain extension

.biz is a generic restricted top level domain for business use. It is sponsored and operated by Registry Services, LLC, a subsidiary of GoDaddy Registry based in Tempe, Arizona. The domain is open to registrants who use it for commercial purposes, though restrictions are more about intended use than strict eligibility. Anyone can register a .biz domain through ICANN accredited registrars, but the registry reserves the right to deny or cancel registrations not used primarily for business. The TLD was created in 2001 as part of the first wave of new generic top level domains alongside .info. It was transferred to its current operator in 2020.

The .biz domain was established on June 26, 2001, following an IANA report on its creation alongside .info. It was originally operated by Neulevel, later acquired by Afilias, and then transferred to Registry Services, LLC in October 2020.
