Overview
.biz is a generic top-level domain managed by Registry Services, LLC.
Editorial note
Editorial note (script-sourced)A top-level domain delegated by IANA to Registry Services, LLC, with whois.nic.biz as the WHOIS server. IANA's current record classifies .biz as a generic top-level domain; older IANA pages labelled it "generic-restricted", meaning the registry applies eligibility conditions rather than accepting any registration.
Verified facts
Type, sponsoring organisation and technical endpoints are confirmed against theIANA Root Zone Databaseon 2026-10-16.
Registration rules
Not independently verified.IANA's delegation record does not publish registration eligibility, restrictions or pricing.Check the registry's own page before registering.
Practical context
Whether a "restricted" label still applies is a registry policy question. The actual conditions are published by the registry, not by IANA.
