.BIZ, the tenth most registered generic domain extension (gTLD), was approved by ICANN in June 2001 with other new extensions such as .info, .aero, and .name. .BIZ is one of the first new gTLDs and now has more than 1.6 million registered domain names.



The Story of .BIZ
.BIZ was pretty much popular in the 2000s than it is now. On June 23, 2008, the .BIZ registry announced that it had officially reached two million registered domains worldwide.

Neustar is the registry of the .BIZ extension since the introduction of the extension in 2001.

We'll see if GoDaddys recent acquisition boosts values. Probably not but one can hope.

Hey, thanks for the comment!

You can check the domains on the most popular .biz domains list. 2 of them contain copyrighted content on them. Some of the others don't even have content (some only redirects) but ranks high on Alexa. Also, I checked the other domains that rank 10-20 and they weren't different.
