<p>let's start by saying i probably should have done a bit more research before
diving head-first into this endeavor.</p>
<p>i've been thinking about transferring my domains off google domains for some
time now, as part of my personal goal to self host and limit my dependence on
google and other large third-party monstrosities. along that line, i asked for
registrar recommendations. <a href="https://tomasino.tilde.team">~tomasino</a> responded
with <a href="https://namesilo.com">namesilo</a>. i found that they had $3.99 registrations
for .team and .zone domains, which is 1/10th the cost of the $40 registration
on google domains.</p>
<p>i started out by getting the list of domains from the google console. 2 or 3
of them had been registered within the last 60 days, so i wasn't able to
transfer those just yet. i grabbed all the domain unlock codes and dropped
them into namesilo. i failed to realize that the dns panel on google domains
would disappear as soon as it went through, but more importantly that the
nameservers would be left pointing to the old defunct google domains ones.</p>
<p>i updated the nameservers as soon as i realized this error from the namesilo
panel. some of the domains propagated quickly. others, not so much. tilde.team
was still in a state of flux between the old and new nameservers.</p>
<p>in a rush to get the dns problem fixed, and under recommendation from several
people on irc, i decided to switch the nameservers for tilde.team and tilde.zone
to cloudflare, leaving another layer of flux for the dns to be stuck in...</p>
<p>of the five domains that i moved to cloudflare, 3 returned with a dnssec error,
claiming that i needed to remove the DS record from that zone. d'oh!</p>
<p>i removed the dnssec from those affected domains, so we should be good to go
as soon as it all propagates through the fickle beast that is dns.</p>
