How easy is it to attach webflow-built sites onto domains registered with other companies?
Attaching a Webflow-built site to a domain registered with another company is a straightforward process. Webflow provides you with the necessary tools and instructions to easily connect your site to your custom domain. Here's how you can do it:
Obtain the DNS records: Begin by acquiring the DNS records from the domain registrar where your domain is registered. These records typically include the CNAME and A records.
Access your Webflow project settings: Log in to your Webflow account and navigate to your project's dashboard. Click on the "Project Settings" button in the left-hand toolbar.
Navigate to the Hosting tab: In the project settings, select the "Hosting" tab, where you'll find the domain settings.
Map your domain: Under the "Custom domains" section, you can add the domain you want to connect. Click on the "Add custom domain" button and enter the domain name.
Verify the domain: Webflow will prompt you to verify your domain ownership. Follow the provided instructions to complete the verification process.
Add DNS records: Once your domain is verified, you'll need to add the DNS records obtained from your domain registrar. This includes creating a CNAME record or configuring the A records, depending on your registrar's requirements.
Publish your site: After adding the DNS records, save the changes and publish your site. It may take a little time for the changes to propagate across the internet.
Enable SSL: Webflow automatically secures your site with SSL for added security. To enable SSL, click on the "Enable SSL" button next to your custom domain in the hosting settings.
By following these steps, you should be able to attach your Webflow-built site to a domain registered with another company seamlessly. Remember to consult your domain registrar's documentation or support if you encounter any specific issues during the process.
