quick question about domain whois info

[wjones]

I'm registering a domain and have a quick question:

Now I'm registereing a domain with my current address and phone#. I plan to move in about 6 months, by that time, can I update my domain WHOIS info to the new address anytime I want? Is there any restriction?

BTW, I plan to own this domain for years to come. Do you guys think I should renew it yearly or shoud I buy it for 5yrs or 10yrs? I know it is cheaper but is there any disadvantage for register a domain for 5 or 10 yrs (with godaddy.com)?

It may be cheaper in the future to register.
The company may go out of business.
There may be no more internet. :Q

Good point.

The company may go out of business.

Oh yeah. If godaddy.com goes out of business, what will happen to the domain registered thru them?

There may be no more internet. :Q

hehe..

It isn't a significant difference if you pay for 5 or 10 years. I would just renew annually. I have 2 domains with godaddy.com also. They do a good job (quick and simple).

About changing whois info... simply email them about it, but there shouldn't be any problems changing this. Godaddy.com has a web admin tool for it... I believe... check with them.

If Godaddy goes out of business, they'll have to tranfer the domains to another holding company, like network solutions or open srs

Thanks for the help. I'll register it for 2 years.
