← All articles

.biz and .info are older gTLDs created by ICANN in 2001. .biz was meant for "business" and .info for "information". Today there are 2+ million .biz and 5+ million .info domains worldwide. But usage is low β€” they're rarely picked for new projects.

.biz and .info purpose

.biz β€” short for "business". For small businesses and any commercial site. But over years spammers used this TLD heavily, hurting its reputation.

.info β€” short for "information". For information, reference, and wiki-style sites. Related to .org, but can be used commercially too.

Price and registration

Among the cheapest TLDs: .biz $5-15/year, .info $3-12/year. Premium names $500-50,000+.

Via Sayt.uz .biz 169,000 sum/year, .info 149,000 sum/year.

No restrictions.

Drawbacks

Low trust β€” users perceive .biz and .info as "shady". Often associated with spam and malware.

Email problems β€” Gmail and Outlook spam filters scrutinize email from .biz and .info more strictly.

Pro brand difficulty β€” building a brand on .biz or .info takes more time and money than on .com.

Who uses them now?

Rarely chosen for new projects. Existing users β€” long-time holders from the 2000s. Spam and malicious sites β€” hurting the reputation further.

Sayt.uz practice

0.5% of Sayt.uz clients use .biz or .info. Mostly as an alternative when .com isn't available. Tip: don't pick these TLDs for a new project β€” alternatives like .uz, .com, .io are more numerous and better. If you already have a legacy .biz or .info, gradually move to a main .com.
