That all depends on if everything is setup on the other end to accept the transfer. If you have all of your content already uploaded, and your hosting company has your site up and their DNS servers updated with your domain information, then when you switch your nameservers with your registrar it will change over and nobody will notice ;-)

what harbork stated is true. You need some overlapping of services here and you can prevent any downtime.

yep as long as you have the site on both servers

but once the transfer has gone through, make sure u leave the old server up for 72 hours to make sure the domain points to the new server before u remove the old server :P

normally 24 hours would be more than enough. For my case, it's always 12 hours. very happy

I think 24 hrs will effect for down time for domain name server configure

DNS propagation takes from 24-72hrs, so all the internet and databases would update, so it might work somewhere but not work in other places, its usually advised to wait a few hours for the full propagation to be completed.

As long as you have the DNS all resolving on the original side you should be fine.

There will be no downtime during domain transfer if your domain is still active. There may be some problems if your domain is overdue.
