I want to move my whole site from Hostpapa to Bluehost, if i move all the files to the new server and change the nameserver on the domain will that complete the move, or do I need to make some changes to the SQL db as well? Sorry Im a little new to this sort of thing so please be nice and explain in detail if possible

Instructions for moving servers are in the online manual here:
Note: The only reliable method of backing up and restoring a database is with shell access via telnet or ssh. This is because backing up with a PHP script like that in the Admin CP or phpMyAdmin can result in PHP timeouts errors and an incomplete backup file. Please see the instructions here:
Backup:
Restore:
P.S. If you do not have telnet or SSH access, some people have reported success with these scripts:
MySQLDumper:
MySQLHotxcopy:
Bigdump (restore only):

Finally worked that out thanks anyway.
Ive completed the transer to the new server, but just out of interest how do you use the move account option, both of my servers where cpanel based but i cannot see that option.Comment

Right. You do have to have Web Host Manager access to cpanel. I just migrated about 30 domains from one dedicated server to another. It worked like a champ. It recreates all the databases on the new server, all email accounts and of course all files.Comment
