INRegistry Allows Longer Domain Registration

October 20, 2008 · Print This Article

Until now, INRegistry has only allowed Indian domains to be registered for a maximum of 5 years at a time.  This has just been changed – now, Indian domains can be registered for up to 10 years in advance.

This change makes a lot of sense and I applaud INRegistry for doing this, as it standardises its practices with most of the gTLDs.

Google is thought to look at for how long a domain is registered in ranking a website, so if you’ve got an important website, it may be worth adding a few years of registration on.  Also, for any company larger than a mum and pop company, it normally makes sense to register your domain for as long as possible, to minimize chances of accidentally losing your domain by forgetting to renew.
