Yes, it is possible to have a custom domain name for downloading PDF files in Webflow. Here are the steps to set it up:
1. Register a domain: First, you'll need to register a custom domain name that you want to use for hosting your PDF files. There are many domain registrars where you can purchase a domain, such as GoDaddy or Namecheap.
2. Connect the domain to Webflow: Once you have registered your domain, you'll need to connect it to your Webflow project. In your Webflow dashboard, go to the Hosting settings for your project. Under the "Custom domains" section, add your custom domain and follow the instructions provided by Webflow to complete the setup. This usually involves adding TXT, CNAME, or A records to your domain's DNS configuration.
3. Set up a subdomain: To have a custom domain specifically for downloading PDF files, you can set up a subdomain for that purpose. For example, you could create a subdomain called "downloads.yourdomain.com".
4. Upload and link the PDF files: Once your custom domain is connected to Webflow, you can upload your PDF files to your Webflow project. To host the file on your subdomain, create a page within your project, and then upload the PDF file into the "Assets" panel. Once uploaded, you can generate a direct link to that PDF file.
5. Create a button or hyperlink: Now, you can create a button or hyperlink within your Webflow project that links to the PDF file. Use the URL of your custom domain, including the subdomain and the specific PDF file, as the link destination.
By following these steps, you can have a custom domain name for downloading PDF files in Webflow. This gives your website a professional look and ensures a seamless user experience.
