Domain Name Registration & Renewals
Typically domains are registered for two years at a time. For domains ending in .uk (this includes .co.uk along with the less common .me.uk, .org.uk, .ltd.uk and .plc.uk) you can only register for two years at a time. For other domains you can usually register them for any whole number of years between 1 and 10.
You can now register many different types of domain name. Most businesses would take the .co.uk and .com versions of their name, perhaps the .info and .biz ones too, and increasingly since 2006, the .eu version too.

By allowing Digital Red to look after your domain name and hosting you can rest assured that you'll keep your domains safe and be sure that no services will be suspended by you accidentally forgetting about a domain name's renewal. However, if you will need (or have already got) lots of domain names, and if you are confident in doing the registrations and renewals yourself without any help, it would be cheaper for you to maintain them yourself with an account with an automated online service like UKreg to maintain your names.
