They should start reselling SSL certificates now too. Then provide a one-click button in Route 53 to buy a domain with optional SSL and set up the DNS all at once. Even better if you could start a LAMP EC2 instance with the domain/SSL configured and the DNS pointed to it at the same time too.
Thanks for posting this, As an owner of a simple CMS (http://getsimplesite.com). I wanted to offer my customers the ability to buy domain names, and this makes it much simple. However, the pricing is a bit higher, the most registered domains for my customers '.com' ($12) '.in' ($15) are much higher than something that godaddy offers. I'd love to see them offer competitive prices.
Anywhere other than GoDaddy would be my suggestion. There are plenty of people that will suggest registrars that they like. My personal favorite is name.com, great support!
