How can I host two Webflow sites on the same domain with the second site in a subfolder? I want to use different themes for each site.

TL;DR
  • Webflow doesn't support hosting multiple projects in subfolders like example.com/site2; only one project per domain is allowed.
  • Use subdomains (e.g., site2.example.com) for separate projects, or set up a reverse proxy with an external host to serve projects in subfolders.

Webflow does not currently support hosting multiple Webflow sites under the same domain using subfolders (e.g., example.com/site2) directly within Webflow's own hosting. Each Webflow project is hosted independently and only allows domain-level or subdomain-level mapping.

1. Understand Webflow’s Hosting Limitations

  • Webflow allows only one project per custom domain (e.g., example.com).
  • Webflow does not support hosting a different project in a subfolder like example.com/blog.
  • Webflow does support subdomains (e.g., blog.example.com) for hosting a second project.

2. Use Subdomains as an Alternative

To have two Webflow projects with different themes:

  • Use example.com for your main site (first Webflow project).
  • Use a subdomain such as sub.example.com for your second Webflow project.
  • In DNS settings, point both @ and sub to Webflow's IPs: (a) 75.2.70.75, (b) 99.83.190.102.
  • Add both domain and subdomain under Project Settings > Hosting in their respective Webflow projects.

3. Use Reverse Proxy to Serve in Subfolders (Advanced)

If you must use example.com/subfolder:

  • You need to use an external hosting platform (like Netlify, Cloudflare Workers, or a custom server with NGINX acting as a reverse proxy).
  • Host the main Webflow site on example.com, export the second Webflow site (if allowed by your plan), and serve it via a proxy under /subfolder.
  • Note: Webflow does not allow full site export on CMS or Business Hosting plans. Only Static sites can be exported.

Summary

You cannot natively host two Webflow projects under the same domain using subfolders like example.com/site2. Use subdomains instead (e.g., site2.example.com), or set up a reverse proxy if you need a subfolder structure and are comfortable using an external hosting solution.
