Default Re: Moving to new server

One thing that I have found extremely useful is to use offsite DNS. We currently use dns made easy, but there are several other good companies that can provide remote dns. By running your dns on a 3rd party server you can switch server much more easily, and if you lose your server, your DNS is still fine. With this type of dns setup you can have both server running at the same time, set a very low TTL, and then when you point the websites at the new server you can revert quickly if something goes wrong.
