I haven't heard it posted anywhere else so I decided to do alittle digging on my own, and do what I can to spread the good news.Effective January 15, 2000, the restriction of registering domain names fortwo years at a time has been lifted.
You can now register domain names fromone to ten years, in one year increments, up to a maximum of ten years. Thefollowing text is taken directly from the ICANN NSI-Registrar License andAgreement, located at:http://www.icann.org/nsi/nsi-rla-04nov99.htm2.3.
New Architectural Features. NSI will use its best commercial efforts todevelop and implement two additional modifications to the Licensed Productby January 15, 2000 as follows:2.3.1.
NSI will issue an upgrade to the Licensed Product that will enable aRegistrar to accept initial domain name registrations or renewals of aminimum of one year in length, or in multiples of one year increments.2.3.2. NSI will issue an upgrade to the Licensed Product that will enableregistrars to accept the addition of one additional year to a registrant's"current" registration period when a registrant changes from one registrarto another.In no event shall the total unexpired term of a registration exceed ten (10)years.So there you have it folks, right from ICANN themselves.
If you have a lotof domain names - like me - you may want to keep them reserved one a year ata time, to keep your costs down. Or, if you have a company name not likelyto be sold in the future, you can register it for 10 years at a big savingsoff of the regular price.After digging and digging around, at several ICANN accredited registrars, Iwas hard pressed to find even one that allowed anything but the old two yearregistrations.
I did finally find one Canadian company that does one to tenyear registrations (partnered with Melbourne IT an ICANN accreditedregistrar). The fact that they have a shopping cart to allow multipleregistrations and a real time database is just the icing on the cake.https://secure.kudosnet.com/domain/k2/r.dmc/With 21 domain names to register, I'm happy to say that I saved over $600 USby being able to register them for a single year, instead of two, and Isubmitted them all with a single mouse click.
