This could possibly be due to a delayed or improper DNS registration. In layman's terms, the record on whichever DNS servers are looking up the named URL are coming up with the wrong/old IP address for the web server. It can take a few days for the new DNS record to be handed out to the various DNS servers at your business, ISP and the Internet.

The problem with getting the "old" web page with the Oct. 14th migration post is most likely due to web caching either at your business or your ISP. Long story short, your business' web cache server or ISP's is holding onto an old cached version of the website and isn't getting a new one.

So what to do? At your business' end if you have authorized access would be to remove the old DNS record and cached pages of the website on your workstations and the server. This will force computers to send queries for new copies of the DNS records and website pages, which may fix the problem.
