Ask HN: What domain registration and DNS service do you use?

I love using Digital Ocean and Heroku for my websites. Clean designs, straightforward navigation and functionality, affordable.

And then you have domain registrars like GoDaddy, Domain.com and others that are the exact opposite (except cheap).

Is there a domain registrar that doesn't severely suck the life out of creating a new domain? Something that has an easy to use API, clean and modern?
