My answers will be brief 1) No comment (been discussed many, many times) - other resellers will say their piece 2) Tucows is only going to be (for now) releasing a Perl client, and open API architecture. There is a PHP client available at SourceForge that's quite good, and you can do what you wish with that afterwards 3) This is a registry limitation and cannot be altered. We're exploring adding a mechanism to add years after a transfer completes, but that would be another asynchronous process on top of an asynchronous process which makes billing rather tricky (thinking about it, no promises)
