Self-Launch A Site
This guidebook describes the final steps of self-launching your application on VIP using a set of tools that put you in control of your launch. If you are interested in self-launching, please talk to your Launch TAM. We do not currently support self-launching for multisites.
What does the self-launching tool do?
- Ensures you have a primary domain set up for your production environment
- Switches to the primary domain, taking care of any search and replace to ensure links and media references remain consistent
- Guides you through DNS changes
- Automatically provisions Let’s Encrypt TLS certificates, if you’re using these
This guide will take you through what you need to do to ensure you are setup for a smooth launch process (Preparing for Launch), and then step you through using the self-launch tool to complete the steps outlined above (Launching).
