## Environments

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

 * it does not yet have a custom domain assigned as the Primary Domain (for [WordPress multisites](https://docs.wpvip.com/wordpress-multisite/)
   this applies to the main site, ID 1)
 * and is only accessible via the [convenience domain](https://docs.wpvip.com/domains-tls/domains/).

The [VIP-CLI `vip app [ID]` command](https://docs.wpvip.com/target-environments-for-vip-cli/)
can be used to retrieve information about an application’s environments, including
a `true` or `false` value for an environment’s `launched` state.

## Sites

A site is considered **unlaunched** when

 * it does not yet have a custom domain assigned to it
 * and is only accessible via the [convenience domain](https://docs.wpvip.com/domains-tls/domains/).
 * Network sites have an additional requirement to be [manually marked as “**Unlaunched**“](https://docs.wpvip.com/launch-a-site/begin-a-multisite-launch/).
