The founder, Mark Jeftovic, wrote the book[0] on domains. pg commented[1] back in 2008 that, "I use EasyDNS. They're expensive, but reliable and never do anything evil."

I've mentioned them a few times over the years; here's my comment[2] from 2015: "Mad props to Mark Jeftovic and easyDNS. Found his service by doing a WHOIS on ycombinator.com when looking for a new registrar a while back. easyDNS has the cleanest and most logical interface for managing domain names and DNS records that I've found. And Mark's blog posts (like the one above) are great. Here's another favorite: http://blog.easydns.org/2014/01/29/welcome-to-easydns-press-... ".
