How long do you buy domains?

One year and pay yearly. But I have found the one domain I really like and will probably pay for the next 2 or 3 years when it comes to renewal soon!

I pay yearly, mainly because I never know what will happen.

True and probably get like good deals if you pay more.

I do yearly.  I've registered a bunch of "$1" and "99 cent" domains.  If I want to keep them, after the year is up, I transfer them to my server for $12 a year.

It depends on a few things really.

If it's a new idea I have, I'll register them for 1 year, if the project is still going strong after that year I'll do 3 or 5 years at a time.

I wasted so much money on registering domains for several years and them not being used, so now it's just discapline not to do that.

There's a few domains I'll keep on my books like preppers.org.uk just because I like it, short, snappy, popular niche. So I register these yearly but any projects that I've had for more than a year that are doing well and I still have a passion for I'll register for as much as my budget will allow.

I think my personal business domain name was registered for 10 years and I'll add to it as and when I can.

I normally buy a domain for a year.

But, yes if it goes well. I will renew it for 5 years more.

I have dropped like 4 / 5 domains till date.

I do pay Yearly and i have never ever renewed any domain in my life 😀 Hope the new project which i have started gets renewed.

1 Year gives me the time to think if the project works or i can close. Plus the domain won't be locked for long time.
