From the page: When moving web host to another hosting service's server or changing the server's IP address, one of the important consideration to ensure to continue availability of the websites hosted on the server, minimize the downtime of the web sites, avoid weird problems such as emails get delivered to either server randomly, or browsing at old server, is how fast DNS (Domain Name System) will be able to translate or resolve hostname or domain name into your new IP address, instead of the old IP destination.
