Hey all,

I'm trying to figure out what kind of downtime I might face with the following plan:

I want to move a domain name and eventually my site from web.com to HostGator and GoDaddy. I plan to purchase my host with Gator and create my site on there identical to the current one before I switch the domain -- but during that transitional period, will there be any downtime? Or will it still direct to the web.com site until it finishes its transition and then point to HostGator and seemingly not have any downtime at all?

Thanks for your help
