Frequently asked questions about the .BZ domain
Does .bz have fixed registration and renewal pricing?
Yes. .bz maintains the same price of $23.99/year for both initial registration and renewals.
Do I need to live in Belize to register .bz?
No. Unlike many ccTLDs, .bz does not require local presence, nationality or specific Belizean documentation — anyone, anywhere in the world, can register it.
Why is .bz associated with 'business'?
Because phonetically '.bz' reads the same as the English abbreviation 'biz' for 'business' — a linguistic play that has popularised this ccTLD among startups and business projects looking for a short domain.
Is .bz a good alternative to .com if my name is taken?
Yes. If your ideal brand name on .com is taken, .bz is a short, memorable, restriction-free alternative that keeps a professional connotation thanks to its 'biz' reading.
Does .bz rank well in Google?
Google treats .bz like any open, globally-used ccTLD. Content, relevance and domain authority determine ranking, not the extension itself.
Can I transfer my .bz domain to miHosting?
Yes. The transfer has no additional cost. You need the authorisation code (Auth Code) from your current registrar. The process takes 5 to 7 business days.
