The IEDR, the people who look after the IE domain space, have announced the introduction of multiyear registrations of IE domains.
The change comes into effect at close of business Wednesday and will allow us to offer IE domains for periods up to 10 years, namely:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10 year registration periods.
This change will not affect domain renewals or transfers, so if you already have a registered IE domain you cannot append years to its registration period at present.
The IEDR have said that they are looking into rectifying this at some point in the not too distant future.
