Solution:
Firstly, let's start with the wordpress migration process. Follow these steps to successfully migrate your two wordpress websites from godaddy to cloudways:
1. Take a backup of your websites: Before starting the migration process, it is important to take a backup of your websites on godaddy. This will ensure that in case anything goes wrong during the migration, you can easily restore your websites to their original state.
2. Create a new server on cloudways: Sign up for a new server on cloudways and select the appropriate server size and location for your websites.
3. Install and configure wordpress: Once the server is created, install wordpress on it. Cloudways has a one-click wordpress installation feature that makes this process quick and easy.
4. Migrate your website’s files: Next, you'll need to migrate your website's files from godaddy to cloudways. You can do this by using an FTP client or by creating a zip file of your website's files and uploading it to your new server on cloudways.
5. Migrate your website’s database: After transferring the files, you'll need to migrate your website's database to the new server on cloudways. You can do this by exporting your database from godaddy and importing it into your new server's database.
6. Update your website’s domain name: Once both the files and database are migrated, you'll need to update your website's domain name to point to the new server on cloudways. You can do this by updating the nameservers or DNS records where your domain is registered.
7. Test your websites: After updating the domain name, test your websites to ensure that everything is working correctly.
Now, let's move on to the SSL installation process. Follow these steps to install SSL on your websites hosted on cloudways:
1. Purchase an SSL certificate: You can purchase an SSL certificate from a trusted certificate authority such as Let's Encrypt or Comodo.
2. Install the SSL certificate on your server: Once you have purchased the SSL certificate, you'll need to install it on your server. Cloudways has a simple and easy process for installing SSL certificates on their servers.
3. Configure your websites to use HTTPS: After installing the SSL certificate, you'll need to configure your websites to use HTTPS instead of HTTP. You can do this by updating the site URL in the settings of your wordpress dashboard.
4. Test your websites: Once the SSL certificate is installed and configured, test your websites to ensure that they are now using HTTPS and that the SSL certificate is working correctly.
Lastly, for assurance that your websites are properly migrated and SSL is installed correctly, you can perform the following checks:
1. Check for broken links: After the migration, check your websites for any broken links. If any links are not working, you'll need to update them with the new domain name.
2. Inspect SSL: You can use online tools such as SSL Checker to inspect your SSL certificate and ensure that it is installed correctly.
3. Check for mixed content: Ensure that all the elements on your websites such as images, CSS files, and scripts are loading via HTTPS. If there is any mixed content, update the URLs to use HTTPS.
In conclusion, by following these steps, you can successfully migrate your wordpress websites from godaddy to cloudways and install SSL certificates on them. This will not only improve the security of your websites but also save you money with cloudways' affordable hosting plans.
