.biz is a restricted generic top-level domain, delegated in 2001, and IANA records Registry Services, LLC as its sponsoring organisation, in the United States of America. The registry points registrants at nic.biz for registration services. That delegation record was last updated on 10 Mar 2026; if the registry has changed hands since, IANA is where it shows up first.

GoDaddy Registry publishes no qualifying criteria for .biz. Its terms require only that a registrant be at least 18 and able to enter a binding contract, and not be barred from receiving the service under US or other applicable law. Its registry agreement with ICANN, signed 30 June 2019, is recorded as Base, Non-Sponsored — no sponsoring community stands behind the extension, so there is no community test to pass.

Availability of .biz names is checked against the registry's own RDAP server (rdap.nic.biz) and DNS-over-HTTPS. Premium suspects (such as very short names) and brand-protected labels also get a third signal, Fastly Domain Research, before they are shown as available.
The lowest renewal among the 6 registrars we track is $18.20 a year at Cloudflare. The highest is $36.19 at GoDaddy, so the same .biz name costs $17.99 a year more depending on where it sits. Prices verified between 13 Sep 2026 and 4 Oct 2026.
