Renew it?

Ive just been checking through one of our domain registrars and im glad i did as i saw a couple of active domains that were due for renewal in a couple of days time LOL

So that got me to thinking, how often does everyone log into their registrar and, more importantly, how long before a domain is about to expire do you re-register it?

I know we usually renew our domains about a week before they expire but a couple of times when we know we have a good solid domain name we renew it a month or two before hand.

Also, when registering new domains, do you register them for one year or multiple years? I can honestly say i dont think we have ever registered a domain for more than 1 year when we first buy it, do you?
