A proper migration should have at most an hour or two of downtime. You make sure the new servers are up and running and tested and only after that do you transfer over the most recent database changes and then flick the switch. As part of a company that has recently migrated all of their customers to new servers I am unfortunately intimately familiar with all of the problems that come with migration especially if they did it to the cloud. Which is cheaper but has a slew of issues.
