Status Alert: .BIZ is NOW LIVE
The new .BIZ domain extension was officially launched today, and new registrati
ons are already on a record-setting pace. Several sites have just made .BIZ av
ailable to the general public which means that ordinary internet users can regi
ster this exciting new domain without the cumbersome paperwork. One such popul
ar site is: www.NewRegistryDomains.com
Brief History
Back in November, 2000, ICANN, the regulatory agency which oversees the Intern
et's Domain Name System, approved seven new domain extensions to meet growing d
emand from the consumer and business sectors. Since the new extensions were fi
rst announced last year, experts have widely expected .BIZ to become the most p
opular of the new extensions and to eventually supercede .COM. The .BIZ registr
y will be managed by upstart NeuLevel, in direct competition with the former mo
nopoly of Network Solutions. .BIZ represents the first new generic domain name
to be introduced since .COM was first launched in 1984. In the ten year span be
tween 1984 and 1994, less than one million .COM domains were registered in tota
l. Today, the registration total for .BIZ will have already exceeded one millio
n. How times have changed...
The Benefits:
..BIZ aims to be the quintessential domain choice for all businesses on the Int
ernet. Short for .BUSINESS, the .BIZ domain directly addresses the growing nee
d for new generic domain names to eventually replace .COM as the Internet most
widely used domain name. The benefits to go .BIZ are clear:
* abundant availability of easy to remember and practical domain names
* technically recognized across the Internet's DNS
* short and catchy extension
* affordable registration fees and simplified registration procedures
"Establishing a .biz domain name also will help companies cut through the .com
clutter. More than 28 million .com names have already been registered. Since th
e .com domain covers so many sites serving so many different purposes, it's imp
ossible to know whether a particular .com address represents a bona-fide busine
ss. In contrast, .biz means business, period."
Chicago Tribune, August 22, 2001
