Can you help me link my Gandi domain name to Webflow?
Yes, I can help you link your Gandi domain name to Webflow. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
Sign in to your Webflow account and open the project you want to connect the domain to.
In the left sidebar, click on the "Project Settings" tab.
Under the "Hosting" section, click on "Add Custom Domain."
A modal will appear where you can enter your domain name. Enter your Gandi domain name (e.g., example.com) and click "Save Changes."
Webflow will provide you with DNS settings that need to be added to your Gandi account. Keep this modal open or save these details for future reference.
Open a new tab and sign in to your Gandi account.
In your Gandi account dashboard, locate the domain you want to connect to Webflow and click on it.
Scroll down the page until you find the "DNS Records" section.
Click on "Edit DNS Records" or any button that allows you to modify the DNS settings.
Now, you need to add the DNS records provided by Webflow. Each record consists of a "Type," "Name," "Value," and "TTL" (Time to Live) parameter.
In the Webflow modal, you will see three records: A, CNAME, and TXT. Add these records one by one in the Gandi DNS settings.
For the A record, select "A" for the "Type," set the "Name" field to "@" (or your naked domain without "www"), enter the "Value" provided by Webflow, and set the "TTL" to the recommended value.
For the CNAME record, select "CNAME" for the "Type," set the "Name" field to "www" (or any subdomain you want to use for your website), enter the "Value" provided by Webflow, and set the "TTL" to the recommended value.
For the TXT record, select "TXT" for the "Type," set the "Name" field to "@" (or your naked domain without "www"), enter the "Value" provided by Webflow, and set the "TTL" to the recommended value.
After entering all the DNS records, save your changes.
Go back to the Webflow modal and click on "Check DNS Records" to verify that the records are set up correctly.
Once the DNS records have propagated (which may take some time), your Gandi domain will be successfully linked to your Webflow project.
Congratulations! You have successfully linked your Gandi domain name to Webflow. Remember that DNS propagation can take up to 48 hours, so don't worry if it doesn't work immediately.
