Prepare for a site launch
To ensure that a launch on WordPress VIP goes smoothly and successfully, complete the preparation steps for your site launch several days before your planned launch date. A WordPress site can then be self-launched from within the VIP Dashboard.
Professional Service Upgrade
Customers who add WordPress VIP Launch Day Services to their support package will have a Technical Account Manager (TAM) assigned to them to ensure a smooth launch for their site on the VIP Platform. VIP TAMs will draft and confirm a launch plan for the site, guide customers through the necessary steps leading up to and including the site launch, and advise customers on any last-minute issues that may arise.
