I was in the process of setting up a reseller account (Bronze, paid yearly, I have my own domain) and the top of the page has an option to transfer the domain from my registrar. The option is grayed out and I can not change it.

I do not want to move my domain from my current registrar, and I see no reason I should have to. Also why should I pay $15 for a transfer, that is more than I payed to set it up in the first place.

What the heck is going on here? I would like to setup my reseller account, but I am certainly not going to make surpass my registrar. Hosting they can do, but as a registrar they suck. They don't even have the ability let different people act in the different roles on the domain. Sure they can enter different names, e-mail addresses, ect, for the technical, billing, and administrative roles, but only one person can have an account and log in to make changes to the domain. That is a very basic function and breaks how domain registration has worked since Network Solutions was the only game in town.

Now what do I do??
