Ask IH: - Can it be done with zero downtime?

Now is time to move my project from github pages to firebase hosting.

Now, my question is.

Can it be done with zero downtime if I have both of the DNS giving it time to reach enough servers and remove the old ones?

Like overlapping, is it realistic?

Thank you !

    When you are changing hosting from one to another, try to change A record alone, rather than changing the name servers to avoid any downtime. If you use both name servers together it would mess up the DB. If you do not have access to DNS records, might want to consider moving the DNS to your domain registrar or separate DNS hosting service.

      Hey !

      I did it last night. The site has been down since then, the DNS is resolved in some places, I hope I have done it right.
