To find the IP address of a website that will be published with Webflow, follow these steps:
- Log in to your Webflow account.
- On the Webflow Dashboard, select the project for which you want to find the IP address.
- Click on the "Settings" tab at the top of the page.
- In the left-hand menu, click on "Hosting."
- Scroll down to the section labeled "Custom domain hosting" and click on the "Show DNS settings" button.
- You will see a list of DNS records. Look for an A record with the hostname "@" (or with your domain name if you have set up a custom domain).
- The IP address associated with the A record is the IP address of your Webflow website.
To set up an SPF record for email addresses on your contact page, you will need to add the IP address to your DNS settings. Here are the steps to do this:
- Go to your domain registrar or DNS provider's website.
- Log in to your account and locate the DNS settings for your domain.
- Look for the option to add a new SPF record.
- Add the following text to the SPF record: "v=spf1 ip4:<IP_ADDRESS> include:servers.mcsv.net ~all" (replace <IP_ADDRESS> with the actual IP address you found in the previous steps).
- Save the changes to your DNS settings.
By setting up an SPF record, you are specifying the IP addresses that are authorized to send emails on behalf of your domain. This can help prevent email spoofing and improve deliverability.
