Paying ahead.
WHY
Fewer renewal events and fewer chances of an accidental lapse Frequently a better rate Price certainty for the period
FOR DOMAINS
Most extensions allow registration for several years at once.
Choose the period during ordering.
For a domain that matters to your business, this is worth doing.
FOR HOSTING
Longer billing cycles are available on most plans and usually carry a discount.
Choose the cycle before adding to cart.
WHAT TO CONSIDER
You are committing for the period. Check the refund policy if that concerns you.
Your requirements may change. A plan that suits today may not in three years, though upgrading remains possible.
THE CASH FLOW QUESTION
A larger payment now against smaller payments over time.
For a business with predictable cash flow, paying ahead is usually the better deal.
WHAT WE RECOMMEND
At minimum, register domains for more than one year.
Losing a domain is the most damaging and most preventable failure.
RENEWAL PRICE LOCK
An alternative approach to price certainty. Ask which suits.
