Whenever you move domains from one server to another, there is about a 24 hour period of problems whilst all the name servers change their records to point to your domain at the new location.

What I tend to do is put a holding page on the new server that says 'the site is currently undergoing maintenance, please come back later' (or maybe even a telephone number they can order on). Then change the domains over.

8 hours later (or something), upload your store to the new server, and then put a holding page on the old server.
