    The best is name.com I use them and I highly recommend it.

    Don't go to godaddy.com they have a bad rep of ripping off people's domains when they're about to expire....

    Name.com is highly legit =]

    1. I use Spry to register my domains - $7.95 for .com

    2. The most profitable niches are those which have the most traffic - but they are also the most competitive and you will have trouble registering good keyword domains.

    3. There is no hard and fast answer to domain name length - it depends on whether keywords are present - but I have read experienced domainers suggesting that 20 characters is definitely too many.

    4. Who are you selling them to? Other domainers or end users? If you are intending to sell to other domainers the prices will be much lower. namepros would be a good place to get more info about this. If you are looking to sell to end-users then you need to be more creative. An offline approach works well - the more personalised the better.

    5. .com is definitely numer one, after that most say .net followed by .org, after that... who knows. There are many examples of .nets and .orgs ranking well - again it depends on the quality of the name itself.

    If you want to have a look at what type of things are considered good (but not great) domain names check out manydomainnames.com there you can see a wide variety of domains and get an idea of the kind of prices you might get from end-users.

    Good luck.
