Quick answer
Can I register a .biz domain in your company's name?
Yes: you can register a .biz domain in our name at NomineeName. The registrant is DomaineGoat LLC, incorporated in Panama, so the registrant record and WHOIS/RDAP show the company, never you. As of October 2026, .biz costs $21.99/year, nominee registration included. No ID, no KYC — only a verified email, kept private — and you pay in crypto.

Who registers .biz in a company's name?
A .biz is used by small businesses, often when the .com of the trade name is taken. Many small businesses are run by one person from home. A .biz in that person's name would put a home address in the registry record. In our name, the record shows our company instead.
What the .biz registry receives, what WHOIS shows, what we keep
| Who | What they get for your .biz domain |
|---|---|
| GoDaddy Registry (Registry Services, LLC) | DomaineGoat LLC as holder, with the company's address. Nothing about you. |
| Public WHOIS / RDAP | The company as registrant, or fields the registry redacts. Never your name. |
| NomineeName | Your verified email and your orders. The email never goes to the registry. |
| You | Beneficial owner: DNS, renewals and the transfer code (free, from your account, at any time). |
What does the .biz registry ask of a holder?
GoDaddy Registry (Registry Services, LLC) runs .biz under an ICANN contract. The extension is intended for bona fide business use. That rule is not checked at registration, but it can be challenged later. A domain held in our name is still subject to it. A .biz used for a real trade, even a very small one, meets the intent. The registry receives our company's details as registrant.
What should you check before registering .biz?
- Business use: keep the .biz for a real commercial activity, as the registry intends.
- Term: 1 to 10 years per order.
- Accented names: supported.
- Pairing: if the .com later becomes available, you can hold both in our name.
- Disputes: a challenge about business use, or a trademark complaint, names our company as registrant. We tell you, and you can answer it.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a registered business for a .biz?
No proof is asked at registration, by the registry or by us. The extension is meant for bona fide business use, and that can be challenged afterwards. A sole trader or a small online activity fits. Registered in our name, the record shows our company either way.
Who runs the .biz registry?
GoDaddy Registry, through Registry Services, LLC, under a contract with ICANN. ICANN rules apply: email verification within 15 days, RDAP lookups, the UDRP for trademark disputes, and a 60-day lock after a registration or transfer.
Can I hold a .biz and a .com together?
Yes. Many small businesses hold the .biz while the .com is taken, and add the .com later if it becomes free. Both can be registered in our name in the same account, with one verified email.
Who owns a .biz domain held in your name?
DomaineGoat LLC is the registrant of record and you are the beneficial owner, under a written agreement in our terms. Your transfer code: free, from your account, at any time. The hand-back of the .biz name to you is free, on request to support from your verified email address. It works where the registry accepts you as holder.
Can a complaint take my .biz domain down?
Not on its own: copyright, defamation, political or competitor complaints need a decision from a Panamanian court. The strict exceptions have fixed delays: phishing, malware, botnets and fraud that takes money from victims within 24 hours of a well-documented report, child sexual abuse material immediately. See the abuse policy.
