If you are just looking for domain registration and DNS, I've tried Namecheap (they SAY they are working on an improved UI) and they were good. I switched to Name.com mostly because I wanted a better interface. They use some Norton app for two-factor auth, which I'm unsure about because of how I feel about Norton as an anti-virus application. But they've been good to me. $11 for a .name domain and ~$7 for a .org
