Is there a simple way to switch my custom domain from my old site to my new site in Webflow, or do I need to go through the process of unlinking and relinking the domain?

To switch your custom domain from your old site to your new site in Webflow, you do not need to go through the process of unlinking and relinking the domain. Webflow provides a simple way to update your custom domain settings. Here's how:

  1. Go to your Webflow project dashboard and select the project that you want to switch the custom domain for.

  2. Click on the "Hosting" tab in the top navigation bar.

  3. Scroll down to the "Custom Domains" section and find the domain you want to switch.

  4. Click on the gear icon next to the domain you want to update, and select "Edit".

  5. In the dialog box that appears, you will find the option to "Switch to a different site".

  6. Select the new site you want to associate with the custom domain from the dropdown menu.

  7. Click the "Save" button to save your changes.

Once you have completed these steps, Webflow will automatically update the DNS settings for your custom domain, pointing it to the new site. This process usually takes a few minutes to propagate, but it can take up to 48 hours for the changes to fully propagate across the internet.

It's important to note that switching your custom domain to a new site in Webflow will not affect any other settings or configurations you have made on your domain or hosting provider's end. The process only updates the association between your domain and the Webflow site.

By following these steps, you can easily switch your custom domain from your old site to your new site in Webflow without the need to unlink and relink the domain.
