Need some IP advice here.
I've got a question that I have searched but could not find an exact answer on it.
This is the issue. I have a box with hosting company A. My download speeds on this box are about 36k/second when no-one else is using it. The only thing the Hosting company can do is move the box to a new rack with new IP's to speed up the download. But this would mean that I would have to wait for the IP's to propagate all over again. 3 days downtime is not an option here.
Now I also have a box with hosting company B. In a different datacenter. This server is almost full but has enough room to store the users files on my first box, for a few days. Can I copy all the data from box 1 to box 2 and then update the nameservers at the registrar to reflect the new Ip's, and the customers not know that they moved to a different server?
So basicially, can I just change the NameServer Ip's without the customer having to do anything and the site's then point to box 2, while box 1 is being moved all over the place?
Thanks!
