It used to be that you could only buy domains for one year, but now it's easy to buy them for many years - thus reducing the hassle of having to re-apply for your domain every year. I always buy at least a 3 year contract on my domains, because you save money, and I usually buy the 10-year contract. If this domain is for a business, buying the 100-year package could be a good investment.
