no need - you can transfer your domains at any point in time

in case of .at we are directly registrar and our infrastructure talks 
idrectly via 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensible_Provisioning_Protocol to 
nic.at, for other TLD's we use https://www.epag.de/ which belongs in the 
meantime to GoDaddy

it should not be that hard to find a service which let you define the 
nameservers of your domain - if it's a registrar at it's own or a 
reseller don#t matter that much because the only point is whatever 
interface that let you define "these hosts are the nameservers for 
excample.com"
