How can I link my Strato domain to Webflow using the A and AAAA parameters in the domain settings? Thank you!

TL;DR

Add your domain in Webflow's Project Settings > Hosting to get the required A and CNAME records.
In Strato's DNS settings, remove existing A/AAAA records, add A records (75.2.70.75 and 99.83.190.102) for @, and a CNAME for www pointing to proxy-ssl.webflow.com.
Verify connection and publish the site via Webflow's Hosting tab.

To connect your Strato domain to Webflow, you'll need to update the A and AAAA records in Strato’s DNS settings. Webflow requires A records but does not currently use AAAA records, so you can remove or leave AAAA records blank.

1. Locate Webflow DNS Records

Go to Webflow Project Settings.
Click the Hosting tab.
Scroll down to the Custom Domains section.
Once you add your domain (e.g., www.yourdomain.com), Webflow will show required DNS records:
A records:
- (a) 75.2.70.75
- (b) 99.83.190.102
CNAME record for www: This will point to proxy-ssl.webflow.com.

2. Log Into Strato and Access DNS Settings

Log in at https://www.strato.de/.
Navigate to Domains > Domain Management.
Locate your domain and click Manage or DNS Settings.

3. Update A Records in Strato

Find the A Record section (for the root domain, e.g., yourdomain.com).
Remove existing A or AAAA records, especially any IPv6 AAAA records, as Webflow does not need them.
Add two A records:
Name/Host: @
Type: A
Value: 75.2.70.75 — then add a second:
Value: 99.83.190.102

4. Add CNAME for `www`

In the same DNS settings area, add a CNAME record:
Name/Host: www
Type: CNAME
Value/Points to: proxy-ssl.webflow.com

5. Publish and Verify in Webflow

Go back to Webflow > Project Settings > Hosting.
Click Check Status to verify if DNS is connected.
Once connected, set the default domain (typically www.yourdomain.com).
Click Publish to the custom domain.

Summary

To connect your Strato domain to Webflow, you must update the DNS settings to include two A records (75.2.70.75 and 99.83.190.102) and one CNAME for www pointing to proxy-ssl.webflow.com. Webflow does not require AAAA records, so these should be removed or left blank. Once DNS changes propagate, verify and publish within Webflow.
