How can I redirect my GoDaddy domain name to my Webflow site?

TL;DR
  • Add your domain to Webflow under Project Settings > Hosting, then copy the A and CNAME records provided.
  • In GoDaddy, delete old A and CNAME records, add Webflow's A records for "@" and CNAME for "www", save, set www as default in Webflow, and publish your site.

To redirect your GoDaddy domain to your Webflow site, you’ll need to update your domain’s DNS settings in GoDaddy and configure the domain in Webflow.

1. Add Your Domain in Webflow

  • Go to Project Settings in your Webflow dashboard.
  • Click the Hosting tab.
  • Scroll down to the Custom Domains section and click Add a Custom Domain.
  • Enter your root domain (e.g., example.com) and the www version (e.g., www.example.com).
  • Save changes.

2. Copy Webflow DNS Records

  • In the Hosting tab, Webflow will show:
  • A records: (a) 75.2.70.75, (b) 99.83.190.102
  • CNAME record: Type: CNAME, Name: www, Value: proxy-ssl.webflow.com
  • Keep this window open—you’ll need these values in GoDaddy.

3. Update DNS Settings in GoDaddy

  • Log in to your GoDaddy account, and go to My Products.
  • Click DNS next to your domain.
  • Under A Records, remove any existing A records and add both of Webflow’s:
  • Add A Record: Host: @, Points to: 75.2.70.75
  • Add A Record: Host: @, Points to: 99.83.190.102
  • Delete any existing CNAME for www, then add Webflow’s CNAME:
  • Type: CNAME, Host: www, Points to: proxy-ssl.webflow.com
  • Save all changes.

4. Set Default Domain in Webflow

  • Back in Webflow, set www.example.com as the default domain (click the house icon next to it).
  • This ensures automatic redirection from the root domain to the www version.

5. Publish Your Webflow Site

  • Click Publish in the top-right of your Webflow designer or dashboard.
  • Choose the custom domain and Webflow.io subdomain, then click Publish.

Summary

To point your GoDaddy domain to Webflow, first add your domain in Webflow and copy the DNS records. Then update your GoDaddy DNS by adding two A records for Webflow’s IPs and a CNAME for www pointing to Webflow. Publish your site in Webflow, and the connection will go live after DNS propagation (usually within a few hours).
