The folks at a well known domain and hosting company REALLY tried to get my business partner to register her domain name for 5 years or longer based on SEO theory. If you didn't do the research I would've called Myth Busters! Thanks for doing the research. The folks at a well known domain and hosting company

Ideas, potential resale value 2. Domains which I am using for specific project category 1 I usually do a 1-year registration category 2 I always do 2-years and then automatically renew you can always lengthen your contract, so it doesn't make much sense to pay for 5 years right off. You might as well buy 1 or 2 year and then renew next year when the dollar is worth half as much :D My domain names fall into 2 categories:
