To redirect your GoDaddy domain to your Webflow site, you will need to update your domain's DNS settings to point to Webflow's hosting servers.
1. Access GoDaddy DNS Settings
- Log in to your GoDaddy account and navigate to My Products.
- Locate your domain and click on the DNS button to access the DNS Management page.
2. Add or Edit the Required A Records
- Go to the section for A Records.
- You need to set two A Records:
- Type: A
- Name: @
- Value: (a) 75.2.70.75
- Type: A
- Name: @
- Value: (b) 99.83.190.102
- If there are existing A Records, edit them to match the Values listed above.
3. Configure the CNAME Record
- Find the section for CNAME Records.
- Type: CNAME
- Name: www
- Value: proxy-ssl.webflow.com
- Save your changes after updating or adding the CNAME Record.
4. Change Webflow Custom Domain Settings
- Go to your Webflow project's dashboard and click on Project Settings.
- Navigate to the Hosting tab.
- Add your domain (e.g., yourdomain.com).
- Once added, Webflow will check the DNS settings for proper configuration.
5. Verify and Publish
- In the Webflow Hosting tab, your domain status should show as connected. If it doesn’t, give it some time as DNS changes can take up to 48 hours.
- Set the default domain as your primary domain in Webflow and click Publish.
Summary
To redirect your GoDaddy domain to a Webflow site, update your domain's A Records and CNAME settings in GoDaddy to point to Webflow's IP addresses and hosting proxy, respectively. After updating these records, ensure they are verified in Webflow's Hosting tab and publish your site.
