    There's no issues with lengthy domain name until you over stuffs with keywords. That act may raise problem for your website. And I am sure you are not gonna do that :)

    Good luck

    Just about all of the responses here miss the point.

    SEO-wise the issue isn't character length, but the number of keywords in the domain name. The more keywords you have i the domain name, the less weight each one receives. Treat the domain name like you would your title tag - put in only the important stuff and don't dilute it with crap of secondary importance. (Note, this is speculation but I don't see how a search engine would do it otherwise.)
