Unhappy Moving Hosts - Don't blacklist me :)

In July my host messed up & my sites all went offline for 3 hours & 15 minutes (early one Sunday morning)!

Within 2 days we lost all our links with one linklist & one avs company & the linklist (who shall remain nameless) has never added the link back (despite we mailed & explained & resubmitted as we were invited to do)...

Since that 3 hour downtime I have tried to reach my host by email (8 times) & left 2 messages on the ansafone which I get when I ring his 'emergency support number'... I love to ring Canada from the UK to speak to an ansafone |pissed|

I even mailed him via his new content company & another customer of his - but I haven't had a single response!

So - we're moving to a new host...

I set everything up correctly & registered the new dns details yesterday & right now the domain is unreachable!

I'm told it's because the dns is propogating & it will fluctuate for the next few days until it's finished...

(So if you are trading links with apassion4porn.com please be patient, it will be ok within a day or two...)

The thing is - when I move the domain with all the free sites on it (angel4christyb.com) - if this happens again - I'm going to run the risk of getting links dropped from a lot more link lists (maybe even blacklisted if somebody is a little over-zealous)...

Is there any way I can prevent this 'unreachable period' or is it inevitable when moving hosts?
