How can I link my Strato domain to Webflow using the A and AAAA parameters in the domain settings? Thank you!
To link your Strato domain to Webflow using the A and AAAA parameters, you'll need to follow these steps:
1. Access your domain settings in the Strato control panel. Look for the DNS management section, where you can manage your domain's DNS records.
2. In Webflow, go to your Project Settings and navigate to the Hosting tab. There, you'll find a list of domains that are connected to your Webflow project.
3. Click on the "Add Custom Domain" button and enter your domain name (e.g., www.yourdomain.com). Webflow will provide you with the necessary DNS records in order to connect your domain.
4. Now, go back to the Strato control panel and find the DNS management page for your domain.
5. Add two A records. The first A record should have the "Host" field set to "@", the "Type" field set to "A", and the "Address" field set to the IP address provided by Webflow (usually, it's the IP address "34.193.69.252").
6. The second A record should have the "Host" field set to "*", the "Type" field set to "A", and the "Address" field set to the same IP address provided by Webflow (e.g., "34.193.69.252").
7. Add an AAAA record. The "Host" field should be set to "@", the "Type" field set to "AAAA", and the "Address" field set to the IPv6 address provided by Webflow.
8. Save the changes and wait for the DNS propagation to take effect. It may take a few minutes to a few hours for the changes to propagate throughout the internet.
9. Once the changes have propagated, go back to your Webflow project settings and click on the "Check Status" button next to your domain. Webflow will verify if the DNS settings are correctly configured.
10. If the status check is successful, your Strato domain should now be linked to your Webflow project. You can then publish your Webflow site to this domain.
Remember, DNS propagation can take some time, so be patient. If you encounter any issues, make sure you've entered the correct settings and double-check for any typos. Additionally, reach out to Strato's support team if you need further assistance with their DNS management interface.
