I am about to transfer some of my domains from my web designers 1&1 account to my 123-reg account but am worried about email downtime.
Currently the domains are registered with 1&1 and the nameservers point to hostgator so I assume hostgator host the website and control the email. I believe the email is set up as a basic catchall forwarding to my Gmail. When I transfer the domain from 1&1 to 123-reg will there be any downtime where I may lose mail? I have asked both 123-reg and 1&1 but neither could help. 123-reg said the DNS should stay the same so there shouldn't be downtime but I must ask 1&1, 1&1 just said they do not host my email so there will be downtime.
Is there anything I can do to ensure there is no downtime? Or am I able to limit downtime? 123-reg will not allow me to setup email instructions prior to the transfer to become active when the transfer is complete.
Cheers
