How can I link my Strato domain to Webflow using the A and AAAA parameters in the domain settings? Thank you!

To connect your Strato domain to Webflow, you'll need to update the A and AAAA records in Strato’s DNS settings. Webflow requires A records but does not currently use AAAA records, so you can remove or leave AAAA records blank.

1. Locate Webflow DNS Records

• Go to Webflow Project Settings.
• Click the Hosting tab.
• Scroll down to the Custom Domains section.
• Once you add your domain (e.g., www.yourdomain.com), Webflow will show required DNS records:
• A records: 
  • (a) 75.2.70.75
  • (b) 99.83.190.102
• CNAME record for www: This will point to proxy-ssl.webflow.com.

2. Log Into Strato and Access DNS Settings

• Log in at https://www.strato.de/.
• Navigate to Domains > Domain Management.
• Locate your domain and click Manage or DNS Settings.

3. Update A Records in Strato

• Find the A Record section (for the root domain, e.g., yourdomain.com).
• Remove existing A or AAAA records, especially any IPv6 AAAA records, as Webflow does not need them.
• Add two A records:
• Name/Host: @
• Type: A
• Value: 75.2.70.75 — then add a second:
• Value: 99.83.190.102

4. Add CNAME for www

• In the same DNS settings area, add a CNAME record:
• Name/Host: www
• Type: CNAME
• Value/Points to: proxy-ssl.webflow.com

5. Publish and Verify in Webflow

• Go back to Webflow > Project Settings > Hosting.
• Click Check Status to verify if DNS is connected.
• Once connected, set the default domain (typically www.yourdomain.com).
• Click Publish to the custom domain.

Summary

To connect your Strato domain to Webflow, you must update the DNS settings to include two A records (75.2.70.75 and 99.83.190.102) and one CNAME for www pointing to proxy-ssl.webflow.com. Webflow does not require AAAA records, so these should be removed or left blank. Once DNS changes propagate, verify and publish within Webflow.
