.biz
the 'business' gTLD that never quite stuck.
.biz launched alongside .info in 2001 and was meant for businesses that couldn't get the .com they wanted. Adoption was modest and the namespace has a slight 'budget' connotation for some readers — useful where pragmatism beats brand polish.
Pricing is competitive, registrar support is universal, and there's no real downside beyond reader perception. Local services, brick-and-mortar shops, and small B2B firms can use it without raising eyebrows.
Best for
small businesses where the .com is unavailable.
Renewal price across registrars $15–$25 per year. First-year promotional pricing may differ.
