How can I redirect my old domain to my new domain in Webflow after rebranding?
TL;DR
- Add both old and new domains in Webflow Project Settings under Hosting and set the new domain as default.
- In Hosting settings, select "Redirect to Default Domain" for the old domain.
- Verify DNS settings to ensure both domains have A records pointing to Webflow IPs.
- Publish the site on both domains to apply changes.
To redirect an old domain to a new domain in Webflow after rebranding, you'll need to configure 301 redirects. This ensures users and search engines are correctly directed to your new site.
1. Prepare Your Webflow Project
- Go to Project Settings and ensure that both your old and new domains are added under the Hosting tab.
- Make sure your new domain is set as the Default Domain.
2. Configure Domain Redirects
- Access the Hosting settings in your Webflow project.
- Under Custom Domains, locate your old domain.
- Click on the more options icon (usually three dots) next to your old domain.
- Select Redirect to Default Domain. This will automatically set up a 301 redirect from your old domain to the new domain.
3. Verify DNS Settings
- Check the DNS settings with your domain registrar to ensure they point to the correct Webflow IP addresses: (a) 75.2.70.75, (b) 99.83.190.102.
- Make sure both the old and new domains have proper A records directed to these Webflow IPs.
4. Publish Your Site
- Click on Publish in your Webflow project.
- Select both domains (old and new) to ensure the changes are deployed across all domains.
Summary
In summary, redirect your old domain to a new domain in Webflow by setting it as a redirect under the Hosting settings. Ensure both domains are properly configured with DNS settings and published. This process creates a seamless transition for users and maintains your site's SEO integrity.
