[Renewing Domains] How Long Do You Extend?

Deleted member 36594 · Jul 15, 2012

Well, since the day I started IM and whenever I need to renew my webhosting or domains, I usually just extend for 1 more year.
And of course when the time is about to end, I would extend another year again.

I actually thought that I would have to give up IM due to Penguin's massive slap. Surprisingly, my sites are all recovering and rapidly.
So I'm contemplating whether to just extend my webhost for 2 or 3 years than just 1 year since it would be cheaper (For 1 year plan: $8.99 per month; For 2 years plan: $7.99 per month; For 3 years: $6.99 per month).

How long do you guys extend? Just curious to know.

It's completely upto you, if you think you would continue with that site or project in the future then you should subscribe it for 2-3 years or more or vice versa.

Sames goes with Hosting as well. I normally buy my domains for 2-4 years depending on the project (Regarding hosting I don't bother as I own my own hosting company

)

Thanks buddy.

I would like to add that there are some people whom said that Google also scans through your domain expiration duration too... because spammers usually register for 1 year or so. Some claim that when they extend 3-5 years or more, Google trusts your domain more.

Don't know if that's true... lol... there's so many theories which can never be proved.

If you are confident about the website and only white hat methods are used on it, you can renew for longer duration.

Look, domains barely cost $5-10 (depending on promotions and stuffs) so if you purchase a domain for 3 years, it would barely cost you $15-30 which isn't huge.

I ain't sure about if Google Reads the domain registration date and even if they do, that won't really make a huge difference. Furthermost, it completely depends on you for how long you would be continuing with a certain project.

I was under the impression that if you renew your domain for longer period of time, goog takes that into consideration

The only way to know is to test it yourself As for me, I do yearly renewal. It would different if my site is earning 1K+ per day, I might renew it for 10 years

Yearly renewal for me, no problem. Ranking is still the same.

I usually just do one year just like u

I dont know why

verilix · Jul 15, 2012

I only do yearly. Who knows what could happen to a domain in a year. Paranoia, I guess.

williamk · Jul 16, 2012

I do 2 years registration. And for domains that I am sure about, I go for 3 years.
