How dump old site, transfer domain to VH, publish new site

[MattG]

Hi,

I have an old website hosted on another server, Network Solutions. Here's what I want to do.

1) Eliminate old site at Network Solutions
2) Publish new site at VH using BV
3) Make the transition reasonbly seamless, so I don't have someone get a 404 code page when I'm in the middle of it all.
4) I need to know if my e-mails will transfer (I assume I have to set them up in cPanel) or will there be a period of dead time due to propagation? If so, will the e-mails during the propagation be totally lost, or just lagging behind.

Note: I do not want to keep the original site. I have already built my new BV site, but I have not published it yet. I just need my existing domain name to bring up my new (soon-to-be-published) VH-hosted BV site.

Thanks for your help,
MattG

IF you have the new site and new hosting ready to go switch your domain over now to the voda server and publish. One or the other sites should show up during domian propogation... and if you set up email it should do the same.
