I have the option to generate a Verisign certificate for my
www.mainwebsiteontherinternet.com for one or two years.
Do you think people normally are doing this just for one year ? Obviously if
it expires in two years that would be less work for me, but just would like
to confirm whether the best practice is issuing this for one year.

It's totally up to you.

There's no real difference other than the expire date.

Theoretically the longer the life of a certificate the greater the risk of
compromise of the certificate/private key. For most this is not really an
issue if best practices are followed such as securing the server and backups
that include the certificate/private key. High value targets may necessitate
shorter key lifetimes. --- Steve
