    Hi,
    I have 2 questions.
    After changing the domain name, do I have to it pay again,since I paid for a year?And how long does it take to see the link on the web again?
    Thanks a lot for the information above,
    Tatiana.

    Domain names must be renewed at least yearly, but can be registered for up to 10 years at a time (at least .com domain names can be.) Changes to domain names can take up to 72 hours to propagate across the Internet.

    In one of the other videos you mentioned that changing you domain name could interfere with the way graphics and photos appear; size limitations and such.
    I’m unclear about if that applies to my blog. I have a domain name with Godaddy that I used for a standard website, then cancelled hosting and just point/redirect to my blogspot.com address. I haven’t noticed any problem so far, but I’m wondering if maybe later I’ll try to do something that won’t work or am I immune from those problems? I’m not clear on what kind of change/difference in the name applys to my blog.
