@[url=https://social.wake.st/users/liaizon]wakest ⁂[/url] @[url=https://mastodon.sdf.org/users/tseitr]social elephant in the room[/url] Each DNS directive in your zone file has a TTL (Time To Live). The lower it is, the shorter DNS servers will keep these directives in cache. When you're preparing to move registrar, lowering TTL in advance may make this move snappier as DNS servers will invalidate their cache sooner and request new data from the new registrar.

However, this is only relevant if the directives themselves are changing. If you're just moving your zone file from a registrar to another, it isn't as important as the DNS data will remain the same no matter who serves it. If you were moving hosting rather than registrar, it would be more important for example.
