Can I host a .txt file on Webflow to prove I own a domain?

Yes, you can host a .txt file on Webflow to prove that you own a domain. This is often required for verifying domain ownership when connecting your domain to other services like email marketing platforms or Google Search Console.

To host a .txt file on Webflow, follow these steps:

1. Login to your Webflow account and navigate to the Project Settings for the specific website where you want to host the file.
2. Click on the "Hosting" tab in the left sidebar.
3. Scroll down to the "Uploads" section and click on the "+ Add File" button.
4. Select the .txt file from your computer and wait for it to upload.
5. Once the file has been uploaded, you will see it listed in the "Uploads" section. Click on the three dots next to the file and select "Copy URL" to copy the file's URL.
6. Now you can use the copied URL to verify domain ownership with the respective service. Usually, you will need to add this URL as a TXT record in your domain's DNS settings.

Remember to keep the .txt file publicly accessible on Webflow for as long as you want to maintain domain verification with the connected services. If you remove the file, the verification may no longer be valid.

Additional Tips:

• Make sure that the .txt file contains the correct verification code or information requested by the service you are trying to verify with.
• Double-check the DNS settings of your domain to ensure that the TXT record has been added correctly and propagated across the internet.
• If you are facing any issues or have trouble with domain verification, consult Webflow's support documentation or reach out to their customer support for assistance.

Example URL:

• If your domain is "example.com" and you uploaded a file named "verification.txt," the URL for the file would be "https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/verification.txt" (replace the "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" with the corresponding identifier for your Webflow project).
