.BIZ Domain Registrations Surpass the Two Million Mark
On June 23, 2008, Neustar Inc. officially announced at the Paris, France ICANN 32nd International Public Meeting that the .biz domain had surpassed the two million registrations mark worldwide.
Tim Switzer, vice president of registry services at Neustar stated “.BIZ is a powerful Internet platform for businesses of all sizes and industry classifications. In an increasingly cluttered and competitive digital world, .BIZ gives businesses everywhere the opportunity to distinguish themselves, innovate, and succeed in an environment dedicated to commerce. I am proud of NeuStar’s prudent, disciplined, and organic approach to developing the .BIZ TLD.”
.BIZ was also identified in the 2008 APWG Global Phishing Survey as one of the safer domain extensions in use on the internet along with the .info and .com web addresses.
As quoted in the survey results "Two gTLDs had notably better performance than the others: .INFO and .BIZ. Both the .INFO and .BIZ registries are known in the anti-abuse community to have proactive stances for dealing with phishing abuse within their namespaces."
