Will there be downtime during a domain transfer?

Last update: Feb 06, 2020

No, the domain transfer is a process of changing domain name registrars. By default, a domain name transfer does not include a modification of the name servers of the domain. Assuming no changes are made on the name serves used by the domain, no downtime will be observed. It is recommended that you discuss the transfer process with the receiving registrar so that you can confirm this.
