How can I redirect my GoDaddy domain name to my Webflow site?

TL;DR

Add your domain in Webflow under Project Settings > Hosting.
Copy Webflow’s A and CNAME DNS records.
Log in to GoDaddy, delete old A records, and add Webflow’s A and CNAME records.
Set the "www" domain as default in Webflow and enable SSL.
Publish your site in Webflow and wait for DNS propagation.

To connect your GoDaddy domain to your Webflow site, you’ll need to adjust DNS settings in GoDaddy and configure domain details in Webflow.

1. Add Your Domain in Webflow

Go to Project Settings in Webflow.
Click the Hosting tab.
Scroll to the Custom Domains section.
Enter your full domain (e.g., www.yourdomain.com) and your root domain (yourdomain.com), then click Add.

2. View Webflow’s Required DNS Records

Webflow will display two A records and one CNAME record:

A Records:
(a) 75.2.70.75
(b) 99.83.190.102
CNAME Record:
www → proxy-ssl.webflow.com

3. Update DNS Records in GoDaddy

Log in to your GoDaddy account.
Go to My Products > DNS next to your domain.
In the DNS Management panel:
Remove existing A records that point to old IPs.
Add two A Records:
- Host: @, Points to: 75.2.70.75
- Host: @, Points to: 99.83.190.102
Add a CNAME Record:
- Host: www, Points to: proxy-ssl.webflow.com
Ensure there is no forwarding set up in GoDaddy, since DNS records handle redirection.

4. Set the Default Domain in Webflow

Back in Webflow > Hosting, select the "www" version of your domain and click “Make default”.
This ensures all traffic is redirected to the www version for SEO and SSL consistency.

5. Enable SSL in Webflow

In the Hosting tab, ensure “Enable SSL” is toggled on.
If SSL is toggled recently, wait a few minutes before republishing.

6. Publish Your Webflow Site

Click Publish and select your connected custom domain.
Wait for DNS propagation (~30 minutes to 48 hours, usually much faster).

Summary

To point your GoDaddy domain to Webflow, add your domain to Webflow, update DNS with A and CNAME records in GoDaddy, set the default domain in Webflow, and publish the site. This directs all visitors from your GoDaddy domain to your live Webflow project.
