Tell us what you are trying to do?

I am ready to make my site communityhealth.greenmountain.marketing live, the actual domain is chcrr.org.

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Just prior experience, but I have found Toolset to be buggy at times, and want to take the right steps to go live. I normally run a process using a plugin called Go Live URLs Pro, update all the tables with the new domain name, use a windows hosts file to test, than either point the domain, or move the domain to the final server with exact same specifications.

Is this a safe procedure to follow with Toolset? The site is extremely complex. I want to make sure to do this safely and correctly and preserve almost a year's worth of work. Thank you in advance for your guidance and expertise.

Is there a similar example that we can see?
no,

What is the link to your site?

CommunityHealth.greenmountain.marketing

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

We have the following Doc that shows information about how you can move your site one server to another:
- https://toolset.com/faq/how-do-i-migrate-a-wordpress-site-from-one-domain-to-the-other/

Can you please try to follow that and use Duplicator and check if you able to move your site to your target server without any issues.

Thank you for your counsel. I took a chance and used All in One WordPress Migratio Pro version and it did a beautiful job. I would have tried your suggestions next but it seemed extra complicated.
