Yep, a possibility is as GreenGuy said. You have to realize that the DNS information does not propogate at the same time all around the world. I have seen as much as 48 hours difference with major providers.

If you want to avoid this next time you switch hosts, plan it so that the old server is active for at least 4 days after you make the switch (with your domain registrar) with the same files and layout as on the new host. This way anyone using the old domain information still sees the correct page.
