A lot of directions you could take this. Free/Commercial. Thoughts?

Would be interesting to get more details on the sandbox.

Did you make a bid in an auction or place the minimum offer? Anyone can list their domains for sale on godaddy with a minimum offer and optionally a buy it now price.

TTFB role in the overall time to a usable web page has dramatically decreased. Instead of being the primary driver in display of mostly static sites, the role is smaller now due to the increased compilation/execution time of client code.

What tld? It’s likely premium but they don’t get that info back until they call into the registry. Comparing prices between registrars is good practice as well.

It seems a solid first step would be to use EXPLAIN to understand query planning/scanning issues.

Assuming 6.5M rows/day*1.5yr=~3.5B rows, how large is the dataset in both SQLite and pg? With indexes, is it fitting in RAM?

Linode 2GB plan is shared vcpu, so results will vary depending on who is sharing it with your service.

This is unlikely. When a registrar goes bust, the registry can take over, assign a replacement registrar by buyout or alternate agreement. See “Registerfly” case as an example.

Also seems that messages land in the inbox first, and then are sometimes filtered, making the gmail web ui jump around as whatever filtering mechanism catches up.

Likely phishing or some other account takeover tactic. Also not "squatters". This domain was stolen.

KS is just the destination registrar. Most of the domains were from NetSol from what I can tell.
