Have you encountered any issues with setting up only one A record with your hosting provider for Webflow?
When setting up your website with Webflow, it is common to encounter issues if you only set up one A record with your hosting provider. Here are a few potential issues you may face:
Missing subdomains: If you only set up one A record, it means that all subdomains will also point to the same IP address. This can cause conflicts if you have specific subdomains that need to point to different servers or services.
SSL certificate issues: Webflow provides SSL certificates for each website hosted on its platform. However, if you only set up one A record, you may encounter difficulties in obtaining SSL certificates for your subdomains. SSL certificates are domain-specific, and if you have multiple subdomains that need to be secured independently, you will need separate certificates.
Email delivery problems: Setting up only one A record can affect the deliverability of emails associated with your domain. If you rely on different email services or providers for different subdomains, you may experience issues in routing emails correctly.
To mitigate these issues, it is recommended to set up separate A records for each subdomain. This allows you to have more control over the routing of various services and ensures the smooth functioning of your website.
Additionally, working closely with your hosting provider's support team can help resolve any specific issues related to setting up A records for your Webflow site.
Summary:
Setting up only one A record with your hosting provider for Webflow can lead to issues such as missing subdomains, SSL certificate problems, and email delivery troubles. To address these issues, it is advisable to set up separate A records for each subdomain.
