Domain propagation typically takes 12-24 hours. Sometimes shorter, sometimes sooner. Unless you're transferring your domain to Surpassdomain, I'd order my account a good 3-4 days before your other account expires (activation typically takes 24 hours). Set everything up on the server like e-mail accounts, FTP, databases etc... Make a back-up on your other server, move the files over to your Surpass server, fix any problems that might be lingering. Then on your remote server, put up a page saying you're in the process of moving servers and it will be up within 72 hours and change your DNS values. It should go fairly transparent with little or no time when your domain isn't accessible at all.
