You don't have to wait for your DNS to fully propagate to start uploading via FTP. Even if your DNS has not yet propagated, you can start uploading your files into your new server. Simply use the IP Address contained in your account activation email in place of ftp.yourdomain.com under the Hostname/Address field. We suggest you do this to prevent downtime in your website. By the time your DNS point to ours, there are already the files that your domain will call.
