  I have this website for a client that is supposed to be unpacked to go live, I am not sure what to do since it is a .BIN file, is there any guidance that can be provided to me about what I should do? We need to get the website live as soon as possible and any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hey there, what host or service made the bin file for you, and will you be hosting it here with us?

  Generally we’d recommend these import tools:

  But that won’t work as well if you have a local copy of WordPress, for example. In a case like that you’d need to use SSH, etc, and it can take some skill. If you’ll let us know what software or service you used to create the bin, and if you’ll be using our managed hosting, we’ll take a look to see what options we have here.

  Also, here’s the difference between our managed hosting and the free software:
