Why did my domain’s renewal price go up?

Which registrar renews it for less, and is moving worth it?

Should I renew for several years before a price rise?

If you mean to keep the name, renewing ahead pays today’s price for each year you add, and most generic endings allow up to ten years in all. It holds nothing beyond the years you pay for, and a later cut does not reach them.
