Customizable DNS Servers

Hello, I'm new to WHT, so take it easy on me. It looks like you guys are very helpful and these forums seem to be very informative, so I think I'm going to start being more active in them.

Now to get to the point. I'm currently with Dathorn, and they are awesome, the support is like out of this world. Their packages, pricing, and setup is very nice. I like the WHM/cPanel combo, but I am running into 2 problems.

A) We are growing too big for their packages (90gb max), and they want to charge me around $2.50/gb instead of the .45cents/gb that I'm paying now if I go over the 90gb. They said I could make another 90 gb account, but that means I'll have to manage 2 WHM's, and have to create 2 new dns servers, neither of which I want to do. So if I switch to a new dedicated/co-located hosting company, do I just ask my registrar to point ns1 & ns2.ccomage.com to the new ip's that I am given at the hosting company?

B) What is the smoothest way of switching from server company to server company? The way I was thinking of doing it is backing up each account individually through the cPanel backup function and then restoring it on the new server through cPanel. Then the second step would be to have my registrar re point the dns servers to the new server ip's. Is this the best way to go about it, or is there a more accurate/easier way of doing it? Basically, the most important factor is the customers uptime in this process.

Thanks in advance for your responses.
