  • So by migration, you mean just using the same drive in another system? That’s potentially a major data loss moment. You at the very least should back everything up before you try to “migrate” without copying files.

    I don’t use Synology, so I can’t speak to the exact process you need to follow. But I imagine it will require you to format your drive if it’s somehow locked into Synology’s system in order to use it with something else.

    It’s likely similar to reinstalling a different OS. You have to back everything up and format the drive. It likely uses a different file system.

  • Don’t use GoDaddy though. I was searching for a domain on that site and after a few minutes it was taken.

    There are reasons to avoid GoDaddy, but what you experienced isn’t really a GoDaddy-specific problem. If a domain gets registered on one provider, it will be unavailable on all providers. Unless you are accusing them of falsely saying they were taken but are available for purchase at a premium. I don’t think I’ve heard of them doing that, but who knows what kind of greedy tactics corporations will try these days.
