Proper way to move a site:

1. create site on new server
2. move/create files on new server.
3. load up the database on new server.
4. Change hosts file on local machine so domain points to new server.
5. Debug site on new server.
6. Once site on new server is good go to registrar and change out dns for domain.
7. Remove hosts entry so you can see actual site when dns rolls.
8. Anywhere form 10 minutes to 2 hours later see site on new server.

Pretty much works perfectly every time.

BTW, the statement about 24-72 hours for propagating the dns is pretty much out of date. Typical propagation time I see is usually less than an hour.
