My domain required to be purchased for two years initially. But it let me know that. If it didn’t notify you, then its most likely 1 year. You can always check your domain expiration through a whois lookup at any registrar. ---

Well they probably are. You do have to pay for it you know, and they can’t just pretend charge you for the amount of time you have it. They charge you yearly, so if they only charged one years worth, then you only have it for one year. I had to pay for 2 years because I had to sign up for 2 years. They usually give you an option of how many years you want it. If not… then you probably only have it for one. Who did you get your domain from? ---

Ok 1. Don’t go with tripod. They charge an arm and a leg. They offer a 1 year or 2 year Plan. 1 year @ 34.95/ year = $34.95 total cost 2 years @ 34.95/ year = $69.90 total cost yeah, that is super expensive. (took me like 2 seconds find it 🙂 1. I recommend [www.godaddy.com](http://www.godaddy.com) or [www.registerfly.com](http://www.registerfly.com) ---

godaddy and registerfly are excellent. I personally do not use them, but I am planning on switching because I use [www.mydomain.com](http://www.mydomain.com) and they are more expensive than registerfly and godaddy. But yes, they are trustworthy. ---

Yeah, domain names and hosting services are completely different. I have a domain name, but my friend is letting me mooch his server space until I can afford my own host :sigh: ---
