A few questions before goin live.

#1 - I'm very close to going live. I have two remaining things I would like to get sorted on the site though... Google Checkout & Google Analytics. Do I need to go live before sorting these final things out? or can I just install both and make google wait until the sites open to the public before it can crawl? (it's currently set to 'down for maintenance')

#2 - Also in the future I plan on upgrading to a dedicated server with a dedicated SSL (currently both shared) How easy/hard is the transistion between these two? and are their any side effects SEO wise in changing I.P, SSL etc?? (btw I'm on a shared hosting package atm which includes a dedicated I.P).

Thanks :smile:

don't know number 1 but number 2 was relatively easy - went with godaddy for the SSL - then went through all the security steps that anyone would have to do to get verified - may want to do that before you start - I think I did before I started.- once done I contacted my host - they completed the ssl for my store on their end

now I'm https for my store

I am not positive, but I don't think there'd be any harm in installing them before you take your site off maintenance...You probably will not be able to test them though until the site is actually live...

Thanks for the answer guys, also, does google require a live site to install the SEO analytics? Thanks.
