: Would it be wise to prepay for 10 years on domain registration? I have a domain name coming up to expire soon and i use it for business. Would it be wise to just pay for 10 years assuming

@Eichhorn148

I tend to register domains for 5 or 10 years at a time for several reasons:


You can get a better price. When you register for multiple years you are often offered a discount.
I don't have to worry about renewing the domain every year. Taking the yearly hassle off my plate is worth something to me.
Long registration periods may be seen as a sign of commitment and quality to Google for ranking purposes. You certainly don't have a "throwaway" domain name then.


Of course, I don't register a domain name for that long when I'm unsure if I 'm going to really use it.
