IMHO, go with a domain name company that offers a decent web interface
for maintenance, and doesn't make "all the domain names you want for
$1!" offers. My experience has been at the other end (Melbourne IT -
who seem to really overcharge) - but there's been comments on this list
about cheap providers who go under, taking your domain name with them.
I'm testing out NetRegistry at the moment - they seem pretty good.

spoilt as I have been by having web space at work I am somewhat

what is the best company to go through to get a Australian (.com.au)
and/or US domain (.com) name registered?
I will need a reasonable amount of storage (say 500MB+) for putting up
pictures (both photo's and graphic) and some MP3s (my own
compositions) but not expecting overly large traffic.
Also thinking about having a couple of extra domain names that would
simply be redirects to my "real site" or more specifically to a URL
other than the root level of the site.
So say, hypothetically:
www.marxzmusic.com would redirect to
www.marksecker.com/music/downloads and www.marxzart.com redirect to
www.marksecker.com/art
