Do .biz domain names have any restrictions?
Yes. .biz Domain Names can only be used for a "bona fide business or commercial use". A bona fide business use is defined by the Registry as including:
- to exchange goods, services, or property of any kind;
- in the ordinary course of trade or business; or
- to facilitate (i) the exchange of goods, services, information, or property of any kind; or, (ii) the ordinary course of trade or business
Registering a domain name solely for the purposes of (1) selling, trading or leasing the domain name for compensation, or (2) the unsolicited offering to sell, trade or lease the domain name for compensation does not constitute a "bona fide business or commercial use" of that .biz domain name.
For illustrative purposes, the Registry has stated that the following do not constitute a "bona fide business or commercial use" of a domain name:
- using or intending to use the domain name exclusively for personal, noncommercial purposes; or
- using or intending to use the domain name exclusively for the expression of noncommercial ideas (e.g., registering abcsucks.biz exclusively to criticize or otherwise express an opinion on the products or services of ABC company, with no other intended business or commercial purpose).
