I'll second this.  I moved my own domain over to these folks and have
had the same experience.

The only minor problem I had was that when I switched over, they 
automatically had the existing DNS servers imported, but they didn't
show up in the web interface.  A quick email to tech support and it 
was fixed within 2 days.
