Domain Swap & SSL Validation -- 2
Budget: $20 – $30 USD
I’m running a VPS with cPanel where an empty PHP site currently sits under the wrong primary domain. I need that situation reversed:
• Make the parked/secondary domain the new primary for the account and point the site’s document root to it.
• Downgrade the present primary to an addon/secondary domain (the host allows this).
• Apply the registrar-issued commercial SSL certificates to both domains and confirm they pass validation.
• Reset each domain to the host’s default nameservers, checking propagation and resolving any mixed-content issues.
No databases need touching, backups run automatically, and there’s no CMS—just a straightforward PHP stack. Once everything resolves cleanly over HTTPS I’m happy; a small app install can follow later but isn’t part of this task.
Please note any file-path updates you make so I can keep future deployments tidy. Thanks!
