Is it required to add hosting to a project in order to disable Webflow Subdomain Indexing in the SEO tab?

To disable Webflow Subdomain Indexing in the SEO tab, it is not necessary to add hosting to a project. Webflow allows you to control how your website is indexed by search engines, even if you haven't set up hosting yet. To disable the indexing of your Webflow subdomain, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your Webflow account and select the project you want to work on.
2. In the Designer, click on the project settings icon located in the left sidebar.
3. In the project settings panel, click on the SEO tab.
4. Scroll down to the "Subdomain Indexing" section.
5. By default, Webflow allows search engines to index your subdomain. To disable indexing, toggle the switch to the off position.

By following these steps, you will prevent search engines from indexing your Webflow subdomain. Note that this setting only applies to the Webflow subdomain and does not affect any custom domains you may have connected to your project. Once you're ready to publish your site and connect a custom domain, it is recommended to add proper hosting to ensure the best performance and SEO capabilities for your website.
