summary: 'If you have a third.level.name domain, it''ll get permanently expunged next year. Have you successfully taken steps to migrate away? Did you move to a standard .com domain, or are you taking your chances with another .tld? Personally, I''m stuck in Microsoft hell because Azure admin emails cannot be changed and support is both uncaring and powerless.
