2/ FTP my site
3/ Change the name of my back-up DB and import
I'm moving from Direct Admin to cPanel, I'm certain there will be server specific directory titles or code I will have to change, but not certain where. There are all Wordpress blogs by the way, and some site have two databases contained within'.
The cPanel spoke of transferring using a .bak file, which I'm not familiar with. I'd like to assume the sql.zip should do the trick.
Any advice before I get started? I have over ten site to migrate, so I'm hoping to get it right from the start.

IME, .bak files are the way to go. They're the standard and especially with cPanel, it should be seamless. My programmer and I are always renaming, moving, etc. .baks. And then reestablishing them at their final destination.
At least, I can say, if you've never worked with cPanel, I personally love it.
I did the same transfers with about 50 of my WP blogs, and everything went smooth. I just re-pointed and boom, all was cool.
