Just changed host now page doing weird stuff

I just switched host companies from x10 free hosting to Ipage. I also made a second domain so I could test things out and such. The site i first created is called wannaspeed.com, my backup test site is called gofastfreaks.com. I did a new install of zen cart 1.3.8 and moved all my files and database over. Install went easy and had no major issues. The site appeared fine and looked and acted just like my "wannaspeed.com" site. So I decided to install a second zencart in another directory on my server so that I could keep gofastfreaks, and wannaspeed separate. (even though currently they look identical)

During this time i changed my name servers to move from x10hosting to ipage, I pointed my wannaspeed domain to the same directory as gofastfreaks since that store seemed to be up and running like normal.

Now I started having all kinds of weird things happen. Everytime I would refresh either wannaspeed or gofastfreaks the page would come back looking strange. Any of the following would happen: Say page not found, the store owner hasnt installed a cart yet, index file not found, or the website would load fine except a couple pictures didnt load, the site would load but the main image didnt load, site would load but not the background image. Everytime I refreshed the page it was like took pieces of my site shake them in a bag and dump them out. Sometimes it was mostly normal but often it was just all wrong. Not sure if its something with the new host, or glitches with the name server change or errors from the zen cart i put in the other directory. Just very strange stuff. Anyone know?

EDIT: just took a look at my site after posting and it seems to be acting normal again.... idk what that was all about but i hope it doesn't do it again....

idk wth is going on. Now the wannaspeed site is visible through x10 again even though the name servers point to ipage, and it was just showing up through ipages hosts! wtf

Did you just switch hosting and the errors are occurring now?

I believe this happened to me as well when I switched from GoDaddy to Bluehost. If I remember correctly it had something to do with the new nameservers replicating. It didn't happen instantly.

After repointing name servers allow between 24 and 72 hrs for all ISPs to update their dns caches.
