Depending on how your prior host set up their DNS info, as time passes, more and more people will see the new site. 48 hours seems to be about the outside guess for 100% of the traffic to have moved over.

Jim, is this verbose enough?

Much Better

I just don't get it, it shows I am connected on my FTP program, stats at the hosting company show me using space, changed the DNS stuff, and I am still getting that http 404-file not found error on every page. I believe that this should be it and it should be running, I think.

If I´m not wrong, using ftp there offers two possibilities to connect to the server. First is domainname, second one is ip - address. IP address of your new host always works. Domainname doesn´t work until dns has changed. Otherwise domainname will point to your old host, I think.

You should also be able to preview your uploaded content by using the following format:

http://your.ftp.ip/~username/

Don't forget the trailing / as it is important.
