Introduction to WordPress.com VIP

Welcome to VIP Documentation!

WordPress.com VIP is the team at WordPress.com that works with high-profile websites. As a part of VIP, you get all of the features that WordPress.com offers, plus customizations and a team of WordPress experts reviewing your code. By being a part of WordPress.com — the world’s largest WordPress installation with tens of millions of sites and billions of page views – you get bulletproof security and enterprise-level scaling. You can learn more about our services here.

First things first. You should already have access to our private VIP Lobby. Please make sure to subscribe to receive important updates by email.

The first step is to create a site at WordPress.com. The WordPress.com subdomain is only shown at the Dashboard, since we’ll be mapping a domain, and your visitors won’t see the example.wordpress.com URL. When contacting the VIP Hosting team please always mention the site’s WordPress.com subdomain.

Now we can start having some fun:

  1. Theming your site. Provide us a zip of the theme and we’ll get started on the Theme Review process. Make sure you’ve tested it on your development environment first!
  2. Adding users and content.
  3. Mapping the domain. We’ll discuss with you the DNS changes to point your site to the WordPress.com VIP service.

If you have any questions, please contact us by using the VIP Support form inside your VIP Dashboard.
