Further, with decent control over DNS, the timeouts can be decreased a day or two before the transition, which would nearly make future transitions smooth.
Somehow you don't understand what a "hosting provider" actually provides. They usually only offer simplified control over things like DNS.
Usually, yes. However my current provider does offer what I mention.
Therefore it didn't seem as unreasonable as you make it out to be. (I don't assume "dreamhost" will be around forever, and I don't assume DNS service cannot be moved if enough interest is there to)
BTW, good points all around Moen! (I got caught up in the fantasy when I mentioned admin@)
