Can I redirect a new domain name purchased from a different provider to a specific page on my existing website using Webflow?
Yes, you can redirect a new domain name purchased from a different provider to a specific page on your existing website using Webflow. Here's how you can do it:
Connect the domain to your Webflow project: First, you need to connect the newly purchased domain to your Webflow project. To do this, you'll need to access the DNS settings of your domain provider and create a CNAME record (or an A record if your domain provider doesn't support CNAME records). Either way, the record should point to the Webflow website address.
Set up the redirect in Webflow: Once the domain is connected to your Webflow project, you can set up the redirect to a specific page. In the Webflow Designer, go to the Pages panel and select the page you want to redirect to. On the right-hand side, under the Page Settings, you'll find the "Page Settings" tab. Click on it and scroll down to the "SEO" section.
Add a 301 redirect: In the SEO section, you'll find the option to set a 301 redirect. A 301 redirect is the permanent type of redirect you'll want to use in this case. Click on "Set 301 Redirect" and enter the URL of the specific page you want to redirect to. Make sure to include the full URL, including the domain name.
Publish your changes: After setting up the redirect, you need to publish your changes for it to take effect. Click on the "Publish" button in the top-right corner of the Webflow Designer. Once the site is published, any visitors entering your newly purchased domain will automatically be redirected to the specific page you chose.
In summary, to redirect a new domain name purchased from a different provider to a specific page on your existing website using Webflow, you need to connect the domain to your Webflow project and then set up a 301 redirect for the specific page you want to redirect to.
