Alert website visitors that site is moving domain

[©®]

My friend's personal website is moving hosting/domain providers.
Can anyone please recommend a way that we can alert visitors that this
is taking place in the next few days and that, if it goes offline whilst
the change takes place, to come back in a day or two.
I was thinking of a pop-up but then most of us hate them or block them.
Help!
Thanks

How about adding text to the home page that says "Hey, we are
moving..."? Also, If it is a "personal site" can they possibly have
so many friends that this is important? (Unless it is a free porn
site, in which case you need to include a URL for us to give you a
proper answer...)

Thanks for the reply.
Nope, not a porn site - more a family site of a pastor :-D
Just wondered if there is a "recommended" way to catch the attention as
they enter the site!
Thanks!

CSS:

..urgent {
border: 2px solid #ff0000;
margin: 1em 3em 0;
padding: 0 2em 0;
}

HTML:

<div class="urgent">
<p>
[text of message here]
</p>
</div>

Just what I needed and simple too! ;-)

margin: 1em 3em 0;
padding: 0 2em 0;

I really should know, but it's always puzzled me - when only three
measurements are given, which is doubled?

I know with four the order is from top clockwise, and if only two are
specified the first is the top and bottom and the second is left and
right, but what about when three are specified?

The second one (3em and 2em above) become 'right' and 'left', and the
trailing zero is 'bottom'.

padding: 0 1em = T and B 0; R and L 1em
padding: 0 1em 2em = T = 0, R and L = 1em, B=2em
