Be aware it may take as long as 72 hours before DNS changes are propagated, depending on the time to live (TTL) that was configured for your records. Until records have been updated worldwide, you will still receive traffic to your old server.

In my case it took a few hours before the new CNAME was propagated in the whole world. The first DNS server to be updated were in California, it's as if they use a shorter time to live for CNAME records. 10 hours later there was only one DNS srever in Malaysia that wasn't up to date.
