For most domains, the minimum registration duration is one year. Some TLDs such as ".us" require a minimum of two years. However, most TLDs only require a one-year commitment. 

The information related to you when buying a domain that is publicly available. It is illegal to put in false information so your personal information can not be traced back. If you are worried about that, we will register for you as a proxy - your information will not be public.

Once you have registered a domain, it is yours as long as the renewal is current. You may sell the domain to someone else (or even buy somebody else's domain), but no one will be able to just take your domain. Having your own domain is very important for your business. It sets you apart from everybody else, and gives you a brand to work with.

There are two parts to a domain - the domain name itself, and the TLD (top level domain) extension.

The most popular TLD is the .com extension - it is synonymous with online business. But due to its popularity, getting a good domain name with ".com" is hard - most have been bought and are not available.

Most TLDs have a meaning behind them - ".edu" is used by educational institutions, and ".org" is supposed to be used by non-profit organizations. A domain with a TLD of "co.uk" is very likely British-based. There are other TLDs too, such as ".cc" ".tv" and ".tk" These are all associated with either a company or a country.
