Can I build a new site on Webflow and forward it to a subdomain of my existing website?

TL;DR
  • Build your site in Webflow as a new project and design it for standalone use.
  • Add your desired subdomain in Webflow's hosting settings and get the provided IP addresses.
  • Update your domain’s DNS settings by pointing the subdomain’s A records to the Webflow IPs.
  • Optionally set the subdomain as default in Webflow and publish your site.

Yes, you can build a new site in Webflow and then connect it to a subdomain (like blog.yoursite.com) of your existing primary domain.

1. Build Your Site in Webflow

  • Create a new project in Webflow with the content and design you want for the subdomain.
  • Design and structure it as a standalone site unless you plan to integrate it fully into your existing site later.

2. Determine the Subdomain You Want to Use

  • Decide on the subdomain (e.g., blog.yoursite.com, app.yoursite.com, etc.).
  • Make sure you can edit DNS settings for your domain (typically via your domain registrar or DNS host).

3. Set Up Hosting in Webflow

  • Go to Project Settings > Hosting in your Webflow project.
  • Scroll to the Custom Domains section and add your desired subdomain (e.g., blog.yoursite.com).
  • Webflow will provide IP addresses to use for the subdomain’s A records:
  • (a) 75.2.70.75
  • (b) 99.83.190.102

4. Update Your DNS Records

  • Go to your domain’s DNS settings in your registrar or DNS host.
  • Create or edit A records for your subdomain:
  • Point blog.yoursite.com to 75.2.70.75
  • And again to 99.83.190.102
  • Remove any existing conflicting A or CNAME records for that subdomain.

5. Set the Subdomain as the Default Domain (Optional)

  • In your Webflow Hosting settings, click the "Make Default" button next to your subdomain to avoid redirect loops or HTTPS issues.

6. Publish Your Webflow Site

  • Click Publish, and select the subdomain to push your content live.

Summary

Yes, you can launch a new site in Webflow and connect it to a subdomain of your existing domain by adding that subdomain in Webflow's hosting settings and updating your DNS records to point to Webflow’s IPs.
