I am in the process of moving my main site to a new server. I'm going to love this when I'm done- it'll take me three months to figure out all the tools (or toys) it came with.

I copied the entire root directory of the old server onto my hard drive. I will now configure, clean up, and transfer those files to my new server within the next few hours. This is my first major move and I am wondering what others experiences are. I don't want to notify Internic of the change (I'm under no pressure) until I know what to expect.

Will there be a period of time where the site will be completely unaccessible ( Internic :() to the public even if the actual site is loaded and primed for traffic? Also, how will the search engines react to the move and my site's new (and dedicated :)) IP.

Thanks for your input.
