Last time when I switched the host my site had to be down for like 9 hours. It was some DNS update issue with hostgator.

One thing I would add, especially if you work with a lot of scripts, is that you may need to change the directory root, php locations etc. So keep that in mind when switching and it’ll save some hassle.

Even if you arent switching hosts, it is a good idea to backup your files continuously even if your host says they backup server data automatically. Sometimes these backups can fail or you might delete some files by accident(If they are using RAID backup you are out of luck)

Good info and straight forward steps for migrating from one web host to another. Just one extra point to be added for dynamically updated sites like forums, blogs etc. During the DNS change, visitors are being directed to either the old web host or new web host depending on their ISP update schedule, in order to maintain only new data is only captured in new web hosting account, you should turn off the site at old web host to ensure no new data is being captured there.
