Is it possible to forward a domain to a Webflow.io page without masking the domain name?
Yes, it is possible to forward a domain to a Webflow.io page without masking the domain name. Here's how you can do it:
Set up a hosting plan in Webflow: Log in to your Webflow account and go to the Project Settings of the website you want to forward the domain to. Under the Hosting tab, select the hosting plan that suits your needs.
Add the domain to Webflow: In the Project Settings, click on the Custom Domains tab. Click on the "Add Custom Domain" button and enter the domain name you want to forward. Follow the instructions to verify ownership of the domain.
Configure DNS settings: Obtain the DNS records from Webflow by clicking on the "Copy" button next to the A records and CNAME record in the Custom Domains tab. Go to your domain registrar or DNS provider and update the DNS settings accordingly.
Disable SSL: By default, Webflow enables SSL for custom domains. But to forward the domain without masking, you need to disable SSL. In the Custom Domains tab, click on the toggle button to turn off SSL.
Set up forwarding: In your domain registrar or DNS provider's control panel, find the forwarding or DNS settings and set up a URL Forwarding or URL Redirect rule. Enter the Webflow.io page URL as the destination and ensure that the forwarding is not set to mask the domain name.
It may take some time for the DNS changes to propagate, so be patient. Once the changes have propagated, accessing your domain will automatically redirect visitors to the Webflow.io page without masking the domain name.
