Does Domain name give you higher ranks in the SE?

[jonesla7]

I was told byone of my hosting companys that that if I registar my domain name for the maxium amount of time, 5 or 10 years, that I would get a higher ranking in the search engines. Is this true?

Untrue. Bogus. Total sales pitch.

Length of registration is only 1 of very many "signals of quality/trust", so don't waste your money. Perhaps after you start building, adding some valuable content/resources, get some quality inbound links THEN you might consider throwing money at added years of registration.
