It depends if during these transfer period, are your site still being updated. For example, if you are running a forum, then can you stop the activity for sometimes.
If you can stop the service for sometimes, then it is easy.
Update your new site with the new files.
Do a redirect from the old hosting to the new ones.
You need to have the 2 hosting running till the the DNS propagation is completed. If you can afford, just paid a month more to your old hosting. DNS propagation will be pointing to the new one by then. Cancel your old hosting after that.
Is it possible for me to transfer my website from one web hosting company to another with no downtime?
Yes, generally you would contact the web hosting company that you want to move your site TO and they will contact your old hosting service who will verify the change and that about it.

It depends on whether your website is static or dynamic (has a database that it updates regularly).
If it's static, then it's very possible. Simply store a copy of all your files in the new hosting server, then update the nameserver in your DNS setting to point to the new hosting server's address.
If it's dynamic, it's a bit complicated to make sure the database in the new hosting server isn't missing any update done by user accessing the old server.
