The answer to this question is complicated. There is no one definitive answer.

In general, it is generally accepted that transferring a domain name from one provider to another will not change the DNS settings for the domain name. However, there are a few cases where this may not be the case.

If the domain name is registered with a third-party DNS provider (such as GoDaddy, Google, or OpenDNS), then the provider may not be able to transfer the domain name to the new provider. In this case, the new provider would need to change the DNS settings for the domain name.

If the domain name is registered with a registrar that provides DNS services, then the registrar may be able to transfer the domain name to the new provider. However, this is not always the case.

Some registrars, such as GoDaddy, do not provide DNS services and will not be able to transfer the domain name.

Finally, it is important to note that if the domain name is registered with a registrar that is not the original provider, then the original provider may be able to transfer the domain name to the new provider.

Some registrars, such as GoDaddy, do not allow registrants to transfer their domains to other registrars. In this case, the original provider would need to change the DNS settings for the domain name.
