Yes, you can disconnect a custom GoDaddy domain from a website you've created in Webflow and connect it to a new version. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Log in to your Webflow account and go to your project dashboard.
  2. Open the project that has the existing website with the custom GoDaddy domain connected to it.
  3. Navigate to the "Hosting" tab in the left sidebar of the project dashboard.
  4. Under the "Custom Domains" section, you'll see the custom domain connected to your website. Click on the three-dot menu icon next to the domain.
  5. In the dropdown menu, select "Disconnect Domain."
  6. You'll be prompted to confirm the disconnection. Click on "Disconnect" to proceed.
  7. Once the domain is disconnected, you can go ahead and connect it to the new version of your website.
  • If you have already published the new version of your website in Webflow, you can follow the steps to connect a custom domain to your Webflow project.
  • If you haven't published the new version yet, go to your new project and publish it on a temporary Webflow domain. Once published, follow the steps to connect a custom domain to your Webflow project.
  • Note: The steps to connect a custom domain in Webflow involve adding DNS records to your domain provider (in this case, GoDaddy). Make sure to follow Webflow's instructions to correctly set up the DNS records for the new version of your website.
  1. After completing the steps to connect the custom domain to your new website version, it may take some time for the DNS changes to propagate. Once the changes are propagated, your custom domain will be connected to the new version of your website on Webflow.

Remember to take a backup of your old website before disconnecting the domain, in case you ever need to revert to it.
