I am not an IT professional so I was wondering, would the HALotto site have to go down to transfer the data to a new server? If so I have not noticed that the site has gone down at all. Any thoughts out there?

No, the site does not need to come offline for them to transfer it to another server..They can make a 'mirror' image of the site on the new servers, then do a DNS server table update so that the new servers will become the default address and the old servers would become defunct address...However, taking the site down while the 'mirroring' is taking place would better facilitate the process but is not necassary.
