site down after pointing nameserver to linode (please help)
I set up the .net site last week as a temporary measure (while the old host was down, we redirected to .net to keep a site up). Now we are ready to go all in. And I've set up .org and tested it fully by changing my hosts file in windows and pointing to the IP address with the .org domain. Everything is great. I thought that changing the DNS whois nameservers would keep both sites up and functioning until the change propogates, but as soon as I did that at the old host, the site went down completely (Network tcp error).
Any ideas??
Thank you!

Thanks obs!
landartgenerator.net - domain name that was temporary. It's working fine now and the dns transfer seemed smooth.
landartgenerator.org - the important site that seems down now, either as a consequence of my dns change or just because they are down.
IP is 50.116.11.90
dreamhost VPS was completely down coincidentally at the same moment that I changed the dns entries. The site seems to be loading now, but also seems to be the dreamhost version (based on a small change in the homepage text).
