The process to go from HTTP to HTTPS is extremely easy.
I have my own website for honey and blacksmithing, andybennettuk.co.uk and was worried that Google might start 'downranking' sites not security approved. They haven't yet but it is a natural progression. So I took a look a few months ago expecting time and cost but it was easy.
To go from HTTP to HTTPS you need a 'certificate'. However the process to get it is a simple click.
You go to your service provider (I use 34SP) then go to settings, advanced, and click on the 'ask for SSL certificate' button.
It says 'this might take a couple of hours' then it comes through as 'available' and you click apply, voila HTTP becomes HTTPS.
