Sales of .biz domains seem to be consistently above that of .info and .us.

.biz

.biz is not multilingual

-It's not geografic

-It's not non profit..

-It's English only: Seems like it..

-Can someone tell us what is the real meaning in spanish italian french and all the other roman alphabet languages? Let alone other alphabets; most people don't even know how to spell it

.bis ?

.vis ?

.viz ?

.bees ?

.beez ?

Do you like to spell it like when you have a dash in between?

Higher registration numbers is good for Network Solutions, Godaddy, etc. But higher registration numbers doesn't necessarily translate into higher sales.

I haven't seen too many threads about .biz sales. That's probably because you're not supposed to sell .biz domains without it being hooked to the business.

I do see that .biz has potential and I think that there's a lot of developed .biz sites. That's a good thing, in my opinion.

But just because it has high registration numbers doesn't mean that it has greater selling potential than .us or .info. Again, you're not even supposed to sell .biz domains without a business being hooked to it. If .biz registrars start enforcing that rule and force domain resellers to surrender the domains, there's going to be a lot of domain resellers holding the bag.

I believe Neulevel was trying to discourage speculators from tearing apart the .biz namespace at its infancy when they applied that policy.

A namespace is only as good as the content it provides.

I agree, .BIZ is not for everyone - especially those old-fashioned folks

Nah, kim, you're just adaptable to change.

Some love it. Some loath it.
