how about setting the DNS first, and then you move your old server ?
First
you set your DNS with as low as you can for the expiry for a few weeks, so
when you change your DNS Record, sites accross of internet can fastly
change their records too.
Then you turn off your server, then move it as quick as possible to new
location, turn it on, and update the DNS record.
