I am planning to shift our e-commerce store to a different hosting provider. What's the best way to change hosts without any DNS Propagation Downtime? We can't afford to keep both the hosts live due to possibility of lot of duplicate orders on both servers.
if you move to a decent host and set everything up, then get them to sync the databases at a convenient time,dns downtime will be minimal.
Even the another database sync if needed can be done.
Hello.
The best solution is to have a domain at an independent provider with with fast server DNS where you can freely change IP addresses. Then you avoid changing DNS and only change the IP address during change hosting, whose propagation is definitely shorter than DNS.

Our DNS records are with name.com. So they are already with a independent provider I guess.
