Changing the domain of an existing instance

Probably the latter, as this is a Hard Problem. I think the “state of the art” is to have a long-lived domain name which redirects to the current location — see also the PURL concept. Bluesky/ATProto gets around this by having a centralized nameserver, the “placeholder server” that assigns and resolves did:placeholder DIDs. Essentially you will need some stable authority for naming things.
