Do I have to enter these other addresses (13.248.155.104 and 76.223.27.102) with the records in Webflow?

When setting up your DNS records in Webflow, you typically won't need to enter IP addresses directly. Webflow provides you with specific DNS records to add to your domain's DNS settings, and these records handle the routing of your domain to your Webflow site. However, there may be cases where you need to add additional IP addresses to your DNS settings. Here's some more information on when and how to do it:

  1. SSL Hosting: If you want to enable SSL hosting on your Webflow site, you may need to enter an A record with the IP address provided by Webflow. This record associates your domain with the specific IP address required for SSL hosting. Webflow will provide you with the necessary IP address to use.

  2. Third-party services: If you want to use a third-party service that requires you to enter an IP address, you'll need to add the appropriate DNS record. This might apply if you're integrating with an email service provider, a CDN, or any other external service that requires an IP address to function correctly. In these cases, you'll need to follow the instructions provided by the service provider to add the required DNS records.

  3. Wildcard DNS: If you want to set up a subdomain wildcard record (e.g., *.example.com), you may need to enter the IP address provided by your DNS provider. This is less common and typically only necessary if you have specific requirements for subdomain routing.

It's important to note that in most cases, Webflow handles DNS settings automatically by providing you with the necessary DNS records to add to your domain registrar's DNS settings. However, if you need to add additional IP addresses for specific purposes, you can do so by following the instructions provided by the respective service or Webflow support.
