how to connect a custom domain in webflow
HeyBraza points at the exact a-record and cname values to copy and where your registrar hides the dns panel, so you don't paste them in the wrong place.
connecting a custom domain in webflow trips people up because the work happens in two places - webflow gives you dns records, and you paste them into your registrar (godaddy, namecheap, google domains). get one record wrong and it shows an error for hours. here's the exact path.
short answer
add both example.com and www.example.com under site settings > publishing, then at your registrar add webflow's two a records on '@' and the cname on 'www'. click 'check status', set your preferred domain as default, and publish.
or do it yourself
- 1in webflow go to site settings → publishing → custom domains and add your domain (add both example.com and www.example.com).
- 2webflow shows two a records and a cname - copy them exactly.
- 3log in to your domain registrar, open its dns settings, and add the a records on the root '@' host and the cname on 'www'.
- 4back in webflow, click 'check status' - it goes green once dns propagates (a few minutes to 48 hours).
- 5set your preferred domain (usually www) as the default, then publish to make it live.

downloadcommon questions
why does my webflow domain show an error after i added the dns records?
either a record points to the wrong host, the cname is missing, or dns hasn't propagated yet - double-check the values match webflow exactly and wait up to 48 hours.
do i set www or the root domain as default in webflow?
pick one as the default (www is common) - webflow auto-redirects the other so visitors always land on the same address.
