Put the trading name first
An address based on the name customers already know will be easier to connect with your business than a collection of sales keywords. Check that it reads naturally with the shortened word “biz”.

.biz domain names
An address with business in mind.
A .biz domain gives a commercial venture a business-themed address. It can suit a trading brand, supplier or service business looking for a name beyond the most familiar endings.

Choose with confidence
Is .biz right for your idea?
Give visitors evidence they can assess
Include contact details, an explanation of the service and relevant examples of your work. The ending expresses business intent, but customers still need useful information before making an enquiry or purchase.
Compare tone as well as availability
The informal sound of “biz” will fit some brands better than others. Compare the full address with .com or .co.uk and consider how it looks on quotations, invoices and email signatures.

About this extension
The story behind .biz
- Domain family
- Generic top-level domain
- Registry operator
- GoDaddy Registry
GoDaddy Registry is responsible for this domain registry. Registration through UK Cheapest and the website or email service you connect are separate parts of using the name. IANA: .biz registry record (opens in a new tab)
An earlier descriptive business ending
IANA records .biz from June 2001, well before the later wave of word-based endings. Its shortened business wording offers a commercial identity without spelling out a particular industry.

Questions about .biz domains
Does .biz mean I must be a limited company?
The business focus is not the same as limited-company status. Choose it for genuine commercial use and follow the registry rules.
Is .biz a substitute for registering a business name?
No. A domain registration does not create a company or give you rights to somebody else’s trading name.
Can I use .biz for a personal hobby site?
A non-commercial hobby is better suited to a different ending. Consider .me or a broader .site address.
What happens after I find a domain?
Add one or more available names to your basket, then continue to registration. Enter the owner details and review the registration term and total before payment. Availability is provisional until the registrar confirms registration.
Will UKC charge me automatically at renewal?
No. UKC sends renewal reminders and an invoice. You need to pay the invoice to renew; UKC does not automatically charge you. Keep your contact details current so you receive reminders.
