.biz vs .com

Launched in 2001 as a .com alternative for businesses, .biz has not achieved the same level of trust or adoption. While .biz domains are inexpensive, the extension is often associated with lower credibility compared to .com.

Choose .com for any serious business venture. Choose .biz only as a budget fallback or for a specific keyword-rich domain that is unavailable in .com.
