Can I host a specific URL path on Webflow while the rest of my website is hosted with another provider?
Yes, you can host a specific URL path on Webflow while the rest of your website is hosted with another provider. This is possible using a technique called "subdirectory hosting" or "reverse proxy."
Here's how you can accomplish this:
Set up your Webflow project: Start by creating a new project or selecting an existing project in Webflow. Design and build the specific URL path that you want to host on Webflow using the Webflow Designer.
Configure your DNS settings: To direct traffic for the specific URL path to Webflow, you need to configure your DNS settings. Create a CNAME record for the subdomain or specific URL path and point it to the Webflow default domain (e.g., subdomain.webflow.io).
Set up reverse proxy: The next step is to set up reverse proxy on your main hosting provider or web server. This will redirect traffic for the specific URL path to the corresponding site on Webflow. The specific steps for setting up reverse proxy will depend on your hosting provider or server, so refer to their documentation for detailed instructions.
Test and verify: Once you have set up reverse proxy and configured your DNS settings, test and verify that the specific URL path is correctly hosted on Webflow. Visit the URL path and ensure that it is displaying the content from Webflow.
By following these steps, you can host a specific URL path on Webflow while the rest of your website is hosted with another provider. This allows you to take advantage of Webflow's powerful design and hosting capabilities for specific sections of your website while maintaining your existing hosting arrangement for the rest of the site.
