DNSDNS is like a signpost to your website (actually it converts sexyurl.com to an IP address)
If you have had to change your server / hosting, it is quite likely that your DNS will have needed to be changed. Sadly, it can take up to 72 hours for the settings to propogate around the web (analogy of a bunch of little geeks running round and changing all the signs to point to your new website) From the symptoms you describe, they haven't yet changed *all* of the signs.
Is it a .co.uk or .com domain (.co.uk will be a bit quicker) and as a crumb of comfort... it will take *UP TO* 72 hours, realistically, it will be much quicker (I did a DNS change last week that was active inside 2 hours)
Patience, my jedi friend...
*edit* this is a bit dumbed down, cos there are things like caching and TTL to take into account)

ThanksI appreciate it - particularly the level of your explanation - anything more technical would have just confused me! It is a .co.uk domain - so hopefully it won't be long. Cheers.
