To the reseller? If the word is a common one word, a very good domain, but what about the tld? on't know much about it I am afraid.

Thnx

.bz is the country code for Belize. It's so close to the dot .biz that they are marketing it similarly.

Read about it here: http://www.nic.bz/en/about/

Personally, unless you're from Belize, I don't think it's worth investing in for resale.

Unless you have Webhost.bz, Sex.bz, Whois.bz that i think is worthy.

Depending on what the word is, it could be worth something.

Think about whois.sc. ;)

From a reselling perspective it is pretty much worthless.

whois.sc wouldn't worth much if the services they offering wasn't there ;)

so many whois.xx domains or even single letter ccTLD domains didnt even pay their regfee

Interesting though, I've noticed that when I enter whois.sc in my browser, it apparently redirects to Whois-Source.com. But then the searches again show whois.sc/domainname.com .

Perhaps NI is rethinking the whois.sc name?

whois.sc dropped few days back (or deleted from .SC root servers) thats why they switched to whois-source.com but now its back online

I do not think .bz is worth while at all
