Choosing the longest term possible is the best way to make sure your name remains under your ownership. However, as long as you are sure to keep your contact information up to date at zname.com, you will receive renewal invoices prior to the expiration term of your domain. And as long as you pay the renewal invoice in a timely manner it will secure your domain for another term. To avoid any potential problems, the 10 year registration term is the safest bet. Registering your domains for the longest term possible will also protect you from future inflation in registration fees.
