Can I buy a domain for life, or does it need renewing?

A domain is not purchased for life: registration gives you the right to use it for a set period, subject to the extension’s rules. You need to renew it periodically to keep it. Available registration periods and the maximum permitted term vary by extension.

Before registering, check your selected term and the renewal conditions. Even if you register for several years, keep your contact details up to date and retain access to the account used to manage the domain. Paying for hosting or having a website built does not replace domain renewal.
