Launch readiness included
Accounts, domain, hosting and compliance preparation
The build includes practical setup guidance for the client-owned services needed to release and operate the product.
Included launch setup, when applicable
DreamTech handles the technical setup and guides the client-owned account process.
Google Play, Apple and D-U-N-S setup
For mobile releases, we guide client-owned developer-account setup, help check or request D-U-N-S, align the legal details and prepare the app for submission.
Domain purchase and connection
We help select and purchase an available domain in the client’s name, then connect DNS, the website and organization email where required.
Hosting choice and deployment
We compare suitable cloud, VPS, managed or local options and configure the client-approved environment for traffic, security, data and budget needs.
Applicable compliance preparation
Where required, we prepare technical materials and guide INSA cyber-audit, ECA data-protection or sector-review steps. The responsible authority controls approval.
Ownership and cost boundary: accounts and domains remain in the client’s name. Setup guidance is included; platform memberships, registrar, hosting, government, provider and usage fees are separate unless the signed quotation includes them. D-U-N-S, store review and government approval follow external timelines and can extend public launch beyond the 40-day software period.
