Does domain expiration affect search engine ranking?

If yes, how many years should I increase domain expiration

If your website goes down for any reason, it will affect search engine rankings.

It should be at least 2 years. Corporate and authority websites have at least 2 years.

No, it doesn't have any effect.

I agree but, due to expiration, if website will go down it will affect rankings.

Then renew it before expiration.

Many people believe that if you buy and register it before it drops and becomes an expired domain it is more powerful
