Play the recording: Handling the Largest Domains Migration, Ever!

  • Why: A concrete account of migrating 10M+ domains (the assets behind Google Domains, acquired by Squarespace in 2023) at a scale not previously seen in the domain-registrar industry — a rare data point on DNS/registrar infrastructure operations at extreme scale.
  • What: The challenges of executing a domain-registrar migration involving more than 10 million domains following Squarespace's acquisition of the Google Domains business. (from abstract only)
  • How: Not detailed mechanically in the abstract. (from abstract only — thin on mechanism)
  • Where applicable: Domain registrar/registry operations specifically; general lessons on very-large-scale record migration likely apply more broadly.
