Downtime due to ip change. Any way to avoid it?

| Hi guys,
Im changing a site's ip address from WHM. But up to propagation, the default page is show in many areas. Is there any way to avoid it? Because this site has many users.
Any Way?
Thanks

| Is the domain currently pointing to the right IP for which the website is configured now? Is the site's old IP not configured for any websites now? If so, it's due to the propogation delay only. You could have decreased the TTL value of the domain in its DNS to minimize the propagation delay. But nothing you can do now, other than waiting till the DNS servers in those regions being updated with the new records.

| Lower TTL value (300?). Wait for 3~ days until the new DNS records propagate.
Change the IP then.
Make sure you refresh OpenDNS's cache.
