Alternatives to Godaddy

Hi everyone, I'm in search for an expired domain auction place and registrar that can completely replace Godaddy altogether. I've done some research so hold your lmgtfy links. All I want is some advice on what paths would be the best to walk down. Let me know who you deal with and how much better they are than Godaddy.

*Basically I'm sick of Godaddy verification requests, account freezing and dropping my domains for no reason. I want somewhere that is happy to take money and not flag every single movement I make.

Namesilo has been good so far

Namejet is decent

Namesilo and Namecheap both are good. They might be a little expensive than godaddy but they give you whois protection. Godaddy is a pain in the butt nowadays.
