How long do you register domains for?

Cheyne if they are gaining traffic let me know

I register for one year, if it goes well I then register for another 2.

Ah.. impulse buys.. we've all been there.. I own some quite odd websites.. that honestly I don't even keep track of anymore. Usually come about from finding a cool looking domain and having the impulse to click "buy" :x

I always go one year when buying the domain initially. If the site is at the point where I think it will continue to grow Ill then buy 2 years at a time.

Always 1 year, you never know if you'll still want that domain in a year or not...

One year, always. Autorenew makes purchasing for more than a year almost pointless.

One, then continue if succesfull

10 years. Because I only buy the best of the best...LOL.. So then I can sell it for a reasonable price.

I usually register for one year at a time but I have registered one for two years right of the bat once.
