If you require registration and SSL certs from the same place, you're
going to miss out on some good companies that way.  There's no real
technical reason why this is necessary, anyway.

For registration, I use NearlyFreeSpeech:
http://www.NearlyFreeSpeech.net/  As the name implies, they believe in
freedom of expression, which means they won't do things like hold your
domain hostage over a single complaint. (*coughGoDaddycough*)

For SSL certificates, I use http://www.instantssl.com/.  They offer a
free trial certificate that you can use right away. that's quite
useful.
