When I do a transfer, I expect it to be seamless for my client and his customers. Something you can do to prevent any downtime is by reducing the TTL in the various domain name entries (A, C, Mail).

I am not tech savvy obviously. I just transferred hosts and I have no idea what I am doing - I created a backup and now it's somehow downloading to my laptop. And then what? The CHMOD? what is that?? DNS servers? So confused!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am totally bamboozled. I am not tech savvy obviously.

This can take a few hours, but is the last part of the process. Once your nameservers have been set over to your new host, you’ll be good to go with the new site!

Allows you to back up files and upload them to the new host and prep the email MX changes etc and then once you are ready to go you just change the NS at the domain control panel, wait a few days, ping the IP and see if it is for your new host and then delete your hosting account with the old place. Pretty rough explanation but that's the guts of it. Would never consider putting up a "we're moving hosts" page for 3 days that's just ridiculous.
