Is it possible to map DNS host (netlify) into specific Webflow pages to avoid setting up separate projects for each subdomain, given the number of subdomains?

Yes, it is possible to map the DNS host (Netlify) into specific Webflow pages to avoid setting up separate projects for each subdomain. Here's how you can achieve this:

  1. Add your custom domain to the Webflow project: In your Webflow project settings, navigate to the Hosting section and click on the "Add Custom Domain" button. Follow the instructions provided by Webflow to add your custom domain to the project.

  2. Configure DNS settings in Netlify: Log in to your Netlify account and select the site you want to configure. Go to the "Settings" section and click on "Domain management." Add your custom domain and follow the instructions to set up the DNS records.

  3. Create subdomain-specific pages in Webflow: In your Webflow project, create separate pages for each subdomain you want to map. For example, if you have three subdomains (sub1.example.com, sub2.example.com, sub3.example.com), create three separate pages in Webflow.

  4. Map subdomains to Webflow pages: In Netlify, go to the "Domain management" section for your site. Under "Custom domains," select the custom domain you added and click on "Add New Redirect." Set up the redirect from each subdomain to the respective Webflow page. For example, set up a redirect from sub1.example.com to the page you created for that subdomain in Webflow.

  5. Test and publish: Once you have set up the redirects, test the subdomain mappings by visiting each subdomain in your web browser. If everything is set up correctly, you should see the respective Webflow page for each subdomain. Finally, publish your changes in both Netlify and Webflow to make the mappings live.

By following these steps, you can use a single Webflow project to manage multiple subdomains without the need for separate projects for each subdomain.
