How can I connect a subdomain (ad.kimberleyplastic.com.au) to a Webflow hosted site while keeping the main domain (kimberleyplastic.com.au) pointed elsewhere? I have already set up the subdomain with the Webflow A-Records.

TL;DR

Add the subdomain ad.kimberleyplastic.com.au in Webflow's Hosting settings to generate DNS records.
Set A-records for the subdomain to 75.2.70.75 and 99.83.190.102 in your DNS provider.
After DNS propagation, publish your Webflow site to the subdomain.

To connect a subdomain (ad.kimberleyplastic.com.au) to Webflow while keeping your root domain (kimberleyplastic.com.au) hosted elsewhere, you’ll need to complete a few simple steps in both your domain DNS settings and Webflow project settings.

1. Set Webflow Hosting to Use the Subdomain

Since you’re only pointing the subdomain, you’ll want to specify that in your Webflow project:

Go to Project Settings in your Webflow site.
Click Hosting.
In the Custom Domains section, add ad.kimberleyplastic.com.au (do not include the root domain unless you’re also hosting it on Webflow).
Press Add and Webflow will generate required DNS records.

2. Configure DNS with Correct A-Records

Make sure your DNS provider (where kimberleyplastic.com.au is registered) has the subdomain pointing to Webflow’s IPs:

You should already have added two A-records for ad.kimberleyplastic.com.au (based on your note):
Type: A
Host/Name: ad
Points to:
- (a) 75.2.70.75
- (b) 99.83.190.102

Ensure these are set only for the subdomain ('ad') and not the root domain or wildcard entries.

3. Wait for DNS Propagation

DNS changes can take up to 24–48 hours, but typically are visible sooner.
You can use tools like https://dnschecker.org to confirm the A-records have propagated globally.

4. Publish Webflow Site to Subdomain

Back in Webflow, once domain verification is complete (green checkmarks next to the subdomain), select ad.kimberleyplastic.com.au as the default domain if needed.
Click Publish → choose ad.kimberleyplastic.com.au → click Publish to Selected Domains.

Summary

You’ve correctly pointed ad.kimberleyplastic.com.au to Webflow by setting two A-records. Now, ensure the Webflow project has that exact subdomain added under Hosting, and publish your site to that domain. Your main domain kimberleyplastic.com.au can stay pointed elsewhere, as only the subdomain routes to Webflow.
