Can active hosting plans be transferred when moving a Webflow site to a different account?

TL;DR
  • Webflow hosting is tied to the original account and does not transfer with the site.
  • After a site is moved to a new account, the recipient must buy a new hosting plan, reconnect domains, and reconfigure DNS settings.

Webflow does not allow the transfer of active hosting plans when moving a site to a different account. Hosting is tied to the individual Webflow account and must be reactivated after a site transfer.

1. Hosting Is Account-Specific

  • Webflow’s hosting plans are linked to the account where they were purchased, not the website itself.
  • When you transfer a project to a different Webflow account or Workspace, the hosting setup does not move with it.
  • The receiving account must re-purchase hosting if they want to keep the project published.

2. What Happens During Transfer

  • Only the project’s design, CMS content, and assets are transferred.
  • Hosting and any associated custom domains or form settings will be removed during the transfer.
  • You will see a message confirming this before the transfer is completed.

3. Steps to Republish the Site

  • In the new account, go to Project Settings > Hosting.
  • Select and activate a new Site Plan (e.g., Basic, CMS, Business).
  • Reconnect your custom domains and add required DNS records at your registrar.
  • Publish the site again.

4. Alternative Option: Workspace Transfers

  • If moving within the same Workspace, hosting stays intact.
  • Site Plans are transferable only within the same Workspace, not between different accounts or Workspaces.

Summary

Webflow hosting plans cannot be transferred across accounts. After moving a site to a new account, the recipient must purchase a new hosting plan and reconnect any custom domains.
