Where .biz came from

Introduced in 2001 as a dedicated commercial alternative when good .com names were becoming scarce, .biz never fully shed a slightly discount-bin reputation, but it remains a straightforward, affordable option for small and local businesses.

Choosing a name for .biz

It works best paired with a clearly local or service-based name — a plumbing company, a regional shop — where the commercial intent is already obvious from context. For a company chasing broad brand recognition, treat .biz as a stopgap rather than a long-term home.
