Thread: Register a domain name for an year or more for a niche site?

Hi,

I want to register 4 to 5 sites of different niche.

Shall i register them for one year or more?

AK!

If you really care about the domain name, then I would register it for more than a year. I have a few domains that I've registered for 10+ years.

Some people have said that registering a domain for more than a year shows the search engines that you're serious about the domain--and it's not a throwaway domain name. I haven't seen any evidence of that, but it makes sense to me.

One good point of registering a domain for a long period of time, 5 years or more?
Insulated against any renewal increases in those years.

Good points.

Personally, i have very few domains registered for 5+ years. At this moment i have about 150 domains so i definitely don't want to pay more than a years' regfee on them. The ones successfully developed will be considered for multi year registration; those are too few by the way
