Requirements
Who can register a .biz?

Good to know when registering

Transfer
Transferring a .biz
- First check in the WHOIS that there's no transfer lock on the domain.
- If there's a lock set by your current registrar, ask that registrar to remove it.
- You need the transfer code from your current registrar to start the transfer.
- The transfer is submitted to the registry. The registry informs your current registrar that the domain is being transferred.
- Your current registrar sends an email to the registrant, and sometimes also to the administrative contact. In it, you can often approve or reject the transfer.
- If you neither approve nor reject the transfer, it will be completed automatically after 5 days.
The transfer code
- You always need a transfer code for a transfer. The registrant or administrative contact requests it from the current registrar.
- The code is at least 8 and at most 32 characters long.
- The code contains at least one letter, one number and one special character, such as ! ? & @ * or %.
