What are the Nameservers for pointing a domain to Webflow?

TL;DR
  • Keep your domain's existing nameservers and update DNS records instead.
  • Add two A Records (75.2.70.75 and 99.83.190.102) and one CNAME Record (proxy-ssl.webflow.com) through your DNS host.
  • Enter your custom domain in Webflow's Project Settings → Hosting and follow Webflow's instructions.

To point a domain to Webflow, you do not use nameservers—Webflow uses DNS records instead. Here's what you need to know:

1. Webflow Does Not Use Custom Nameservers

  • Webflow does not provide nameservers like ns1.webflow.io.
  • You must keep your domain's nameservers pointed to your registrar or DNS host (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare).

2. Use A and CNAME Records Instead

To connect your domain to Webflow, update your DNS settings with the following:

  • A Records for the root domain (e.g., yourdomain.com):

  • 75.2.70.75

  • 99.83.190.102

  • CNAME Record for the www subdomain (e.g., www.yourdomain.com):

  • Proxy target: proxy-ssl.webflow.com

These values should be entered in your DNS provider (where your domain is currently managed).

3. Configure in Webflow Project Settings

  • Go to Project Settings → Hosting in Webflow.
  • Enter your custom domain (e.g., www.yourdomain.com) and follow the prompts.
  • Webflow will show you the exact records to configure, which you should copy to your DNS host.

4. Do Not Change to Webflow Nameservers

  • If you try to use nameservers like webflow.com or ns.webflow.io, it won't work—Webflow doesn’t operate as a nameserver provider.
  • You need to manage DNS through your current domain host or a custom DNS service (e.g., Cloudflare).

5. Allow Time for DNS Propagation

  • DNS changes can take up to 24–48 hours to propagate globally, though it’s often faster.

Summary

Webflow does not use nameservers. To point your domain to Webflow, keep your current nameservers and update your A Records (75.2.70.75 and 99.83.190.102) and CNAME Record (proxy-ssl.webflow.com) based on Webflow’s hosting settings.
