Webflow does not support direct integration with Cpanel as a domain provider. However, you can still use Cpanel as your domain provider with your Webflow website by following these steps:

  1. Obtain your DNS records from Webflow:
  • In your Webflow Editor, go to the Project Settings.
  • Click on the "Hosting" tab.
  • Scroll down to the "Custom domain" section.
  • Click on the "Copy" button to copy your DNS records.
  1. Log in to your Cpanel account:
  • Navigate to the "Domains" section.
  • Click on "Advanced Zone Editor" or "DNS Zone Editor" (the name may vary depending on your Cpanel version).
  1. Add or modify the necessary DNS records:
  • Locate the domain you want to connect to your Webflow site.
  • Add a new CNAME record:
    • Enter the subdomain or www (if you want www.example.com) as the name value.
    • Enter proxy.webflow.com as the CNAME value.
  • Add or modify the A records for the non-www version of your domain:
    • Set the name field to @ or leave it blank.
    • Set the IP address to the one provided by Webflow.
  • Make sure any existing A records for your domain are removed or updated to match the Webflow IP address.
  1. Save the changes and wait for DNS propagation:
  • Click on the "Save" or "Add Record" button (the name may vary depending on your Cpanel version).
  • DNS changes may take some time to propagate, usually up to 24-48 hours.
  1. Verify your domain setup in Webflow:
  • Go back to your Webflow Editor.
  • In the "Custom domain" section under Project Settings, enter your domain name (e.g., example.com) without the www.
  • Click on "Save Custom Domain."

Now, your Webflow website should be connected to your domain hosted on Cpanel. It's essential to note that Webflow provides detailed documentation and support to assist you with this process. If you encounter any issues, reach out to Webflow support or consult their help center for further assistance.
