"There are an increasing number of businesses worldwide -- particularly home-based, small and mid-sized -- that have expressed strong interest in registering a .BIZ name in their languages of choice."

All IDN names in .BIZ can be registered in one- to 10-year increments, and are available now on a "first come, first served" basis from accredited .BIZ registrars. Further, IDNs in .BIZ work in all major Web browsers including Internet Explorer 7, Firefox and Safari.
