1 to 10 Year UK Domain Name Registrations01 May 2012 - Posted by Web Wiz Hosting Team, in Domain Names Starting from today you will be able to register and renew UK Domain Names through Web Wiz for between 1 and 10 years.
Nominet, the non-prophet body who manage the UK namespace have changed the way UK Domain Names can be registered allowing 1 to 10-year registrations instead of 2 year period registrations.
This change will give customers the opportunity to lock in their UK Domain Names for up to 10 years, giving greater security, a longer period between renewals, and can also aid with Search Engine Optimisation.
The price for a single year for UK Domain Name Registrations and Renewals will remain the same at £3.95, while UK Domain Name Registrations and Renewals for multiple years (eg. 2 to 10 years) will be at the new lower price of just £2.95 per year.
