I've been using Namesecure (www.namesecure.com) since 2002.  I have all my
sites on there and I enjoy the process of buying/renewing domains. Their
support is a little shaky (you can only email them), but I haven't had many
issues to begin with. I'm not certain if other domain registrars have this
option, but you can update your registrar & technical information in a bulk
fashion.
