Nominet, the holding entity of the .uk namespace announced in a press release today that they will be offering multi-year registrations and renewals.
“The new multi-year registration periods will offer greater choice for registrants, who can secure their domain for a longer term without worrying about regular renewals. It also gives registrars the opportunity to offer a more flexible package for .uk domain names. “
That’s a great relief for the holders of .co.uk domains that had to manually renew their domains each year. Now they can renew the sod for up to 10 years into the future and enjoy tea and crumpets like every other proper British! 😀
