I have a social network which is growing and I want to move from my HG shared account to a HG dedicated server (before it gets too big and my members notice performance drop).

I know when you change servers and dns it takes a while to propagate and some users see the old server and some the new for a short period of time. This would be a problem on my social network because user entered content would wind up in both databases.

How can I make a "clean break"… where from the time I go live on the new server, no users will hit the old server?

Any advise is appreciated as always.
