Same: it's the communications protocol that changes - all you need to do is change all http links in your site to https and provide the certificate, basically.
See here: Guide: Converting Your Site From HTTP to HTTPS[^]

means there is no different database for HTTP and HTTPS right?

OriginalGriff 24-Apr-17 4:11am

Nope. The DB is unchanged (unless it contains http link addresses, which would need to be changed).
But I'd check the rest of your security first: Hashed passwords rather than encrypted or plain text, SQL Injection vulnerabilities, XSS attacks, and so on first. Switching to https won't do anything about those!

will you please tell me the exact back-end process while transferring HTTP to HTTPS please..

OriginalGriff 24-Apr-17 5:36am

Read the link - it explains the process better than I can.
The other things I mentioned are the basics that even a http site must adhere to in order to be considered even slightly secure - Google will find you a lot of info on those, but if you haven't considered them at all yet, then check and fix that lot first or a switch to https will be a complete waste of time and money.
