There could be a few potential causes for your website continuously redirecting to "www.www.wwwmysite.com" after setting up hosting through GoDaddy. Here are some possible reasons and troubleshooting steps to help you resolve the issue:

Incorrect or Misconfigured DNS Settings:

Check your DNS settings in the GoDaddy dashboard to ensure they are correctly pointing to your Webflow site.
Ensure that you have set up the correct A records and CNAME records for your domain.
Double-check that you have not added any unnecessary or duplicate records that might be causing conflicts.

SSL/TLS Certificate Issues:

If you have recently enabled SSL/TLS on your website, make sure that it is configured correctly.
Check if you have any mixed content issues (HTTP content on HTTPS pages) that can cause the browser to block the site or redirect incorrectly.
Verify that your SSL certificate is properly installed on your Webflow site.

Cached Redirects or DNS Propagation:

Clear your browser cache and try accessing your website again.
Wait for the DNS changes to propagate, as it may take up to 48 hours for the changes to be fully effective.
Try accessing your website from a different network or device to see if the issue persists.

Webflow Site and GoDaddy Settings:

Ensure that you have correctly set up the custom domain in your Webflow project settings.
Check if there are any conflicting settings or redirects within Webflow that might be causing the issue.
Verify that you have added the correct custom domain in the GoDaddy DNS settings.

Redirect Loop:

A redirect loop can occur if you have set up conflicting redirection rules or if there's an issue with your website's code.
Inspect your website's code and look for any unintended redirects or loops that could be causing the issue.
Review any recently added scripts, plugins, or codes that might be conflicting with the desired redirect.

If you have tried all of the above steps and are still experiencing the redirect issue, it may be helpful to contact Webflow support or GoDaddy's support team for further assistance. They have the expertise to diagnose any potential server-side or configuration-related issues that may be causing the problem.
