301 redirect – renew original url?

  • I did a 301 redirect last year to my new URL. I renewed the original URL the first year. Do I have to keep renewing the original URL? Or can I just keep my current URL now?

    Thank you!

    You mean your domain (a URL is any web address, a domain is the domain name ?? )

    Does anyone use the old domain? If no one’s going to it, you can give it up.

    do you mean use it as in is anyone searching for us by the old domain – no, we are only known by the new one.

    would it affect our Search engine ranking to let go of the old one?

    Thank you.

    Not if no one’s using it, no ??

    Check your referral stats and see if anyone’s coming from the old domain. If not, drop it and save the money. If they are, just point the old domain to the new location (it’s called domain parking) and then only pay once for hosting.
