This isn't surprising, but still upsetting. First as noted, no Dynamic DNS or DNSSEC?? REALLY?? Come on. Second as also noted, the migration is manually!

#36As a lesson to anyone else hoping to do a shutdown with a migration to a different service with your company. If you are going to treat me the same as any new subscriber, where I have to re-signup, re-add my payment method, export my settings and then import them again, you're asking me to buy all over again. If you ask me to buy, then I get will reevaluate the relationship, and if it's just as easy to migrate to ano…

As a person that utterly detests oracle's db software licensing model, every time I see a sales pitch from Oracle I mentally translate it as "Larry Ellison needs a bigger yacht".
