Knowledge Base >>Domain names >> gTLD
.BIZ is a generic top-level domain introduced in 2001 as an option for business websites. It is operated by GoDaddy Registry (following Neustar’s acquisition) under contract with ICANN. Registration is open to all through accredited registrars, with standard support for DNSSEC, RDAP/WHOIS, transfers, and IDNs.
Initially presented by ICANN as the business-focused alternative to .COM, .BIZ is now a legacy new gTLD with limited mainstream adoption. It remains available but is generally considered a niche choice compared to dominant extensions like .COM.
