" summary

Seventeen years of websites (50+ domains, 900 podcast episodes, ~5,000 XML posts) move off a failing host by treating DNS as the migration lever, staging a front door reverse proxy, upgrading .NET to run on Linux, packaging with Docker, and wiring CI/CD to GitHub Actions/Azure DevOps. A naïve lift‑and‑shift would keep the old ops pain; the chosen path yields 3 ms server responses, CDN‑served images, live telemetry dashboards and phone control, and the sites stay up and cheaper to run.
