We are by no means aiming to be a web hosting shop; it's not in our trajectory at all. Our Starter Page is solely a means to provide users something quick and easy to setup that's not overly confusing. For many, it's an interim page while they setup their own custom site.

In regards to accredited registrars, there's plenty of low hanging fruit out there and building out a registrar was not in our sites for our initial launch.

I can comment that EPP is in scope and we're doing some really cool shit behind the scenes in upcoming releases that would satiate your qualms in the future. I can't really comment on all fronts; but stay tuned!
