Hey,

Im thinking about buying a 10year registration from godaddy, the lowest price I can get it down to is around $78 (with 10% coupon).

What domains have you registered for 10years and is it possible to register for longer than 10 years (not that I want to hehe).

Try this: $10 OFF every 50$ Spent
Godaddy coupon: gdh010381

And 10years domain will cost $77.50

+ buy dedicated ip ... 10years domain will cost $76.89

If you allow the automatic renewal, then there is no good reason to register longer. The only benefit I can see is google may index you better for multiyear registeration.

For the pure financial pointview, multiyear does not make sense (assume the regfee does not go up too much).

Yeah. I, too, see no real use to register for more than 10 years at a tiome, especially if you just put it on auto renew. I personally have never regged for longer than 2 years.

From an SEO perspective, a 10 year reg is a good thing. Google (maybe others) uses whois information in its algo and its widely believed that the longer a domain is registered for, the more seriously Google takes it.

So if you are aiming to get PR and SERPS, then yes, 10 years is a good move.

life is not always predictable.
If you have domains(s) that you know are worth a *LOT*, then I would suggest regging them for 10 years.
You never know when life will deal you a little blow, and for whatever reason, you might not be able to renew in time...
also, domains that are regged for longer periods are 'perceived' to have larger value in the eyes of an enduser. Reason? probably psychological.

I always just register domains for 1 year. I figure I'll be done with the domain in less than a year anyway.

yes I have two domains that are over the 10 year limit at Register.com ... no regrets I have the locks in place. Register got cheaper as I extended the time..

actually the longest you can reg is 10 years per ICANN policy. NSI offers a 100 year registration, but it's really just a 10 year registration with a promise to autorenew each year for the next 90 on a prepaid basis. Whois would show 10 years.

No, the most I've done is 3-4 years. With prices generally dropping, there has been no reason to go longer. If they start heading up, it may make sense. If you only have a couple domains, it maybe worth the piece of mind. with many, it's a major cost factor.

Google doesn't reveal their rating system, but it's been confirmed that longer rgistrations do count positively. I don't think anyone outside google knows if 5 years or 10 years would make an real difference. I'd say the difference between 1-2 years and 3-5 years probably says a lot about the intent of the registrant.
