In light of everything that has been in the press recently about GoDaddy I did some research on good, yet reasonably priced, services - here's what I came up with:
* Registration: Gandi.net (at time of posting $15.00/yr for .com with 1yr SSL cert + some other junk I won't use)
* VPS / DNS: Zerigo.com (for a 512MB RAM slice it's $20/month with significantly more storage and transfer than, say, Linode. Performance states no oversubscription (we'll see) - their DNS service looks good for the money comparatively, you get 20domains @ 20/yr with, what looks to be a nice API)
* DNS runner up: Dyn.com (more expensive than what I'd like to pay with limits that seem like they could be a problem until you scale to the more expensive stuff. That being said, they look to be very reliable.)
* SSL: RapidSSL.com (who knows anymore with CA's based on the DigiNotar fiasco and Comodogate, but the price is right)
