What is a .biz domain?
.biz is a generic top-level domain created in 2001 specifically for business and commercial use, and today it is operated by Registry Services, LLC (GoDaddy Registry). It was one of the first extensions ICANN added after the original 1980s set, introduced alongside .info as an alternative for companies that could not get the .com they wanted.

| 25 June 2001 | IANA report on establishing the .biz and .info top-level domains |
| 19 October 2020 | IANA report on the transfer of .biz to Registry Services, LLC |
| Today | Managed from Tempe, Arizona; WHOIS at whois.nic.biz; zone signed with DNSSEC |
Is .biz restricted to businesses?
Yes, in principle: the .biz registry policy says names must be used, or intended to be used, primarily for bona fide business or commercial purposes. A purely personal blog or a family photo site does not meet that test. In practice nobody checks your company papers at order; the rule matters if someone later challenges a name that is plainly non-commercial.
- Qualifies: a shop, a trading firm, a consultancy, a freelancer selling services, a startup before incorporation.
- Does not qualify: a personal diary, a non-commercial fan page, or a name registered only to resell it.
- Documents at order: none. A GSTIN is optional, for input credit on the invoice.
- Who can hold it: individuals and companies in any country; no Indian presence rule.
Which Indian businesses register .biz?
.biz works best for trading and B2B firms whose name, with .com, was taken long ago, and who want the address to say “business” rather than “personal”. Good fits include wholesale textile traders in Surat, hosiery suppliers in Ludhiana, import-export agents, franchise outlets and small manufacturers listing a catalogue.
| Business | Example | Job of the site |
|---|---|---|
| Saree and fabric wholesaler | suratfabrics.biz | Catalogue and bulk-order enquiry form |
| Machine-parts manufacturer | rajkotcastings.biz | Product sheets and RFQ page |
| Franchise outlet | brandname-jaipur.biz | Store page separate from the parent brand |
| Import-export agent | gulftraders.biz | Company profile for overseas buyers |
What does a .biz domain cost at WebJi®?
A .biz name costs ₹2,254 for the first year and ₹2,416 to renew, before 18% GST, read from WebJi® billing on 4 November 2026. Three years therefore cost ₹7,086 (₹2,254 + 2 × ₹2,416). Note that this is more than a .com, so choose .biz for its meaning or availability, not to save money.
| Extension | Registration | Renewal | 3-year total | Order |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| .biz | ₹2,254 | ₹2,416 | ₹7,086 | Register → |
| .biz.in | ₹809 | ₹877 | ₹2,563 | Register → |
| .services | ₹2,722 | ₹3,289 | ₹9,300 | Register → |
| .enterprises | ₹4,562 | ₹4,846 | ₹14,254 | Register → |
.biz vs .com and .biz.in — which should a small business pick?
Take the .com if it is free; take .biz.in if your customers are Indian and price matters; take .biz when both are gone and the international “business” label helps. .biz.in is NIXI’s Indian second-level name at ₹809, about a third of the .biz price. Some buyers find .biz less familiar in email addresses, so test it by reading the address aloud to a customer.
Putting the .biz name to work
Point the domain to a host, publish your SPF and DKIM records, and set auto-renew so the trading address never lapses. A catalogue site fits on shared hosting and orders@yourfirm.biz on business email. See domain registration in India for every other extension.
Frequently asked questions
Who manages the .biz registry now?
Registry Services, LLC, part of GoDaddy Registry, based in Tempe, Arizona. IANA reported the transfer of .biz to that company in October 2020. Before that, the extension had been run since 2001 by its original operator.
Can a freelancer register a .biz without a company?
Yes. The bona fide business test is about how the name is used, not about incorporation. A freelancer or sole proprietor selling services meets it. What would not meet it is a site with no commercial purpose at all.
How much is .biz for five years?
₹11,918 before GST at WebJi®: ₹2,254 for the first year plus four renewals at ₹2,416. With 18% GST added, the five-year invoice is about ₹14,063.
Is .biz bad for SEO?
No. Google treats .biz like any other generic extension and does not rank it lower. Results depend on content, links and speed. The real risk is human: some visitors mistype it as .com, so print the full address clearly.
Does .biz support DNSSEC?
Yes. IANA shows a secure delegation for .biz, so you can sign your .biz name when your DNS host supports DNSSEC and its DS record is lodged through your registrar.
