Register your .biz domain

.biz domains for €23.60 the first year, then €30.15 a year. Search below and add as many names as you need.

What is a .biz domain?

The .biz domain is a phonetic shortening of "business" and was approved by ICANN in 2000, alongside .info, as an alternative to .com for companies. Launched in 2001, it is one of the oldest generic extensions added after the original set, and it is explicitly intended for commercial activity.

Unlike many fully open extensions, the .biz rules state that the domain must be used primarily for bona fide business or commercial purposes, not purely personal use. In practice the registry does not check each registration, but it can act on complaints. The extension is a sensible option when your company name is already taken on .com.

Registration rules for .biz

  • The domain must be used primarily for business or commercial purposes, under the registry policy
  • No citizenship or residency requirements, but registrant data must be accurate
  • The registry can take complaints about non-commercial or abusive use and may act on them

Tips for choosing a .biz name

  • Use your exact company name: companyname.biz is more credible than long keyword variants
  • If your main site is on .com, the .biz can redirect to it to protect your brand
  • Show your company registration details on the site, which builds trust on a less common extension
  • Set up email with SPF, DKIM and DMARC, especially if you send quotes or invoices

Questions about .biz domains

Can I use .biz for a personal blog?

The registry policy requires .biz domains to be used primarily for genuine business or commercial activity. A purely personal blog with no connection to a business does not fit the purpose of the extension. For personal projects, fully open extensions such as .site, .xyz or .info are a better match.

Do I need a registered company for .biz?

The registry does not request incorporation documents at registration, but the domain should serve a real or planned commercial activity. A freelancer or someone preparing to launch a business can use it. What matters is the business purpose of the domain.

Is .biz good for SEO?

Google treats .biz like any other generic extension, with no boost and no penalty. Rankings depend on content, site speed and the reputation you build over time. For a local audience, local language content and local listings matter far more than the extension.

How do I get my company site live on .biz?

After registering, add a cloud server with WordPress installed in one click, connect the domain through the free DNS editor and publish. The domain renews automatically from your prepaid credit, so your business address stays online without tracking deadlines.

How much does a .biz domain cost?

Registering a .biz domain costs €23.60 for the first year and €30.15 for each renewal, VAT excluded, paid from your account credit. There is no setup fee and DNS hosting is included.

For how long can I register a .biz domain?

You can register a .biz domain for 1 to 10 years at once. After that it renews automatically from your credit a month before expiry, and you get an email if your credit is short.

Can I transfer my .biz domain to cloudlinux.ro?

Yes. Transferring a .biz domain costs €23.60 and normally adds a year to its expiry. Unlock the domain at your current registrar, get the transfer code and start the transfer from the Domains section of your console.

Can I host a website on my .biz domain with you?

Yes. Launch a cloud server billed by the hour, pick a one-click app such as WordPress, Ghost or Nextcloud, and point your .biz domain to it from the DNS editor. The domain also works with any server you run elsewhere.
