Actually there's a couple of misconceptions.

First, what is happening today has nothing to do with the server move. That is scheduled for tomorrow.

Second, the server move is a physical relocation of the server itself - not a transfer of data from one server to another. The hosting company is moving their servers to a new facility. Consequently there is no 'old site' to provide DNS from.
