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! You have to download a zone record and upload it, and that's after manually creating your account. I'll be switching to Cloudflare. Been considering it for a while, but now it makes sense.

No dynamic DNS? This is literally the name of the company they bought. And the migration is just a sign up for a new service after exporting my zone config? They really don't care about losing customers it would seem. Easy enough, my router supports domains.google.com for ddns and my domain registration is already there, it's time for DNS to follow it.

I’d imagine the type of customer using Dynamic DNS is not the type of customer Oracle wants.

Are you surprised that the migration is manual? This is Oracle we're talking about, not some software services company that would have resources on-hand to write some internal scripts to take care of that for their customers... /s
