Noteworthy is the nicely designed, polished website at My.biz (partly pictured above) which showcases the .BIZ domain extension. The site provides a great video on dotBIZ (see below) and a .biz name generator for coming up with domain name variations.

My.biz reiterates a few timeless pointers when considering a domain name selection including:

• Shorter is better
• Be sure you can say the name without having to spell it out for people
• Avoid trademarks

On a related .biz note, Overstock is celebrating this week the one year anniversary of their launch of O.BIZ, their e-commerce website for businesses which sells a variety of supplies from categories like catering, janitorial, office furniture, kitchen, and medical equipment.

Located on the Neustar website is a brief characterization of the .BIZ address …

.BIZ enables your business to present itself as a serious player in the global marketplace, and helps you do what you do best – get down to business.

There is even a new catchy tagline “Better Name. Better Results.” which is a great marketing decision.

In a related story, found here, Neustar have announced recent security enhancements to the .BIZ domain space. PremiumDomains.biz wrote last year about a McAfee study on web address security which found .BIZ among the safest of all domain name extensions even outperforming dotcom.

Lastly, it was announced recently that the credit services goliath, Experian, had acquired California company Mighty Net in a $207.5 million dollar deal. This is particularly significant for Experian as the deal included several premium domain name assets, specifically CreditScore.com and CreditReport.com.

“Biz” has long been a common abbreviation for business in the finance and investment realms, and particularly in the broader world of business in general. Biz has become a well-recognized part of the English vernacular. It is seen daily in newspapers & magazines, on television, throughout the internet, and used repeatedly by professionals when referring to almost any kind of industry.

My own research of the .biz web address reveals that it has been adopted by many companies around the globe from small local stores to major international corporations. For business purposes and business branding, .BIZ is a major player. The .biz extension is managed by the Neustar Registry and marketed by them as …

This trend is being replicated across the country with an increasing number of realtors and real estate companies moving to the .biz (Business) web address.

Some realty companies are still maintaining their initial .com site while also launching their newer .BIZ web address. Often with a slightly shorter or more intuitive .BIZ version of the company name.

Collett & Associates were founded in 1987 and currently manage commercial properties in 12 U.S. States. Not only do they manage, broker, and lease commercial properties, but they are also involved in client commercial property investments and a number of ongoing development projects.

My online research produced an impressive number of real estate companies setting up shop with the .biz web address. Since the extension is business-focused, it is an ideal choice for a wide range of companies both internet-based and of the brick-and-mortar variety.

A sampling of others: PeakProperties.biz, ClarkCommercial.biz, NewResorts.biz, MLS.biz, BellMarcRealty.biz, Avalar.biz.

Since I very much like the .biz web address, I checked out the company. They are rather large having offices and distribution centers in the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Argentina. In the U.S. alone,  Dart have 13 facilities spread across 11 states.

The company used to operate on DartContainer.com, but have since switched to the better domain name, Dart.biz. Dart was established in 1937 with their early roots planted in the town of Mason, Michigan. Dart specialize in food service packaging and have since become the world’s largest manufacturer of foam cups.

The Dart.biz domain name was originally registered in March of 2002. This short, memorable domain name coupled with the internet’s official business extension makes for a great company web destination.
