## Environments

On VIP, an environment is considered **launched** when

 * a [custom domain](https://docs.wpvip.com/map-a-domain/) has been assigned as 
   the Primary Domain (for [WordPress multisites](https://docs.wpvip.com/wordpress-multisite/)
   this applies to the main site, ID 1)
 * the Primary Domain’s [DNS is pointed at VIP](https://docs.wpvip.com/point-dns-to-vip/)
 * and a [TLS certificate](https://docs.wpvip.com/domains-tls/tls/) has been installed
   for the Primary Domain.

Retrieve information about an application’s environments, including a `true` or `
false` value for an environment’s `launched` state, with the VIP-CLI command: `[vip app [options] [command]](https://docs.wpvip.com/vip-cli/commands/app/)`

## Sites

A site is considered **launched** when

 * a custom domain has been assigned to the site’s Site Address (URL) value
 * the custom domain’s [DNS is pointed at VIP](https://docs.wpvip.com/point-dns-to-vip/)
 *  a [TLS certificate](https://docs.wpvip.com/domains-tls/tls/) has been installed
   for the site’s domain
 * and the site is publicly accessible.
 * Network sites have an additional requirement to be [manually marked as “**Launched**“](https://docs.wpvip.com/launch-a-site/begin-a-multisite-launch/).
