We had everything moved over prior to changing the namesevers, we just had to make sure all the paths on some of our scripts were correct. @Oli – And that is what we did.

When I switched my site's from one server to another, I made sure that things were ready to go with the files being copied over, and then I went ahead and changed dns. A shortcut I used, because my site would bounce from the old server, to the new, and to a "refresh page" I would do: start > run > cmd > ipconfig /flushdns This helped when I wanted to make sure things were running smoothly on the new server; Few people saw downtime, but I made sure to have them flush dns. Works [almost] every time. @ Oli, even if you do that, there’s still random blips of DNS downtime.

Good luck =)
