I thought that would be good enough, I went with WebFaction. But it seems they recently merged with GoDaddy, so even though I explicitly avoided them it turned out I didn't.
Who's a good alternative these days?

Since they're not the cheapest, I throw my experimental projects up on DreamHost, but my mission critical stuff is on FutureQuest.
There are many decent alternatives. From the above, I have used all but Google and Cloudflare. My experience has been pleasant with all that I have used.
I normally don't like qoutes but i think the Batman one fits well here with how people perceive companies: 'You Either Die A Hero, Or You Live Long Enough To See Yourself Become The Villain'
The biggest advantage over Google's registrar service, is there's no upsell, at least not that I noticed. They do offer some integrated service options. The included google dns hosting and mail forwarding services are great imho. It could use some slight improvements in UI/UX, but still better than any other registrar I've tried by a large margin.
Mileage may vary, of course, but I really do like the service overall. I'm not affiliated with Google, don't always like everything they do, and do have some reservations about them as a company. That said, imho the best registrar option available.
Time to move away from webfaction now.
I do wish that Let's Encrypt would work with them to whitelist all the domains on freedns.
