    My understanding is that a cpanel to cpanel transfer at the admin level will rewrite the values for username_database name. Your new host may do this for you.

    I have no experience doing it that way. If your username on the old host and your new host are EXACTLY the same it might work anyway.

    The way that I know works is to do a database dump of all your tables, move the site, create the new DB and install the tables.

    I have written an article on the subject but have not finished it or linked to it yet. You can PM me for the url if you like.

    You can :

    - dump your database
    - set up your site (or cms) on your new host
    - upload your database on the fresh intall.

    and you're done
