The easiest way is to put all the files directly in the public_html folder, rather than in public_html/home.

There seems to be an endless redirection loop in there somewhere.

Would you mind pasting your .htaccess file here?

Edit: Some of your /sites folder still seems to be in the /home directory. This often happens if Drupal changes the file permissions on settings.php so that it cannot be edited by a malicious script. You'd need to use cPanel's file manager to add "write" permissions to that file, then you could move it from /home/sites/default/settings.php to /sites/default/settings.php

It sounds like your cPanel Drupal installation is not finding the database you have uploaded.

Did you change the settings.php file, so that the database name, mySQL username and the mySQL password now refer to the database and database user that you have created on the cPanel server?

That's great news! Glad to hear you're up and running at last.

I had a quick look - the home page is fine, but click on any links and you get a 404 "not found" error.

Check that you copied the file called .htaccess to public_html as well. (There may be a file there, but make sure it's the Drupal one)

The 404 error message is being served by Drupal, which means that Drupal thinks it's responsible for serving up /projects.

Drupal only serves up a page if there isn't a file or folder by that name. Are you sure the /projects directory still exists?
