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

TL;DR
  • In Webflow, find your site’s two A records and one CNAME record under Project Settings → Hosting.
  • Log in to Strato, go to DNS settings, add A records for @ with IPs 75.2.70.75 and 99.83.190.102, and add a CNAME for www pointing to proxy-ssl.webflow.com.
  • Remove any conflicting DNS entries, then add both yourdomain.com and www.yourdomain.com in Webflow and publish the site.

To connect your Strato domain to Webflow, you’ll need to update your domain’s DNS settings to point to Webflow's servers using A and CNAME records. Webflow does not currently support AAAA records (IPv6), so you only need to set A and CNAME records through Strato.

1. Find Your Webflow DNS Records

  • Go to Project Settings in your Webflow project.
  • Click the Hosting tab.
  • Scroll to the Custom Domains section.
  • You'll see two A records (Webflow IP addresses):
    (a) 75.2.70.75
    (b) 99.83.190.102
  • You'll also see a CNAME record pointing to proxy-ssl.webflow.com.

2. Log In to Your Strato Account

  • Go to https://www.strato.com/ and log in to your customer area.
  • Navigate to the domain management or DNS settings section.

3. Set the A Records for Your Root Domain

  • For your root domain (e.g., yourdomain.com), add two separate A records:
  • Host: @
  • Type: A
  • Destination/IP: 75.2.70.75
  • Create another A record with the same Host:
    • Destination/IP: 99.83.190.102
If Strato requires TTL settings, you can leave them at the default or set them to 3600 seconds.

4. Set the CNAME Record for the "www" Subdomain

  • For the subdomain (e.g., www.yourdomain.com):
  • Host: www
  • Type: CNAME
  • Destination: proxy-ssl.webflow.com

5. Delete Conflicting Records (If Any)

  • Delete any existing AAAA, old A, or CNAME records for @ or www that conflict with the new records.
  • Make sure you do not have both A and CNAME records for the same subdomain.

6. Complete Domain Setup in Webflow

  • Return to your Webflow Project Settings → Hosting.
  • Scroll to Custom Domains and add both:
  • yourdomain.com
  • www.yourdomain.com
  • Click Check status.
  • Once Webflow confirms the domain is connected, publish your site to both domains.

Summary

To link your Strato domain to Webflow, update your DNS with two A records (75.2.70.75 and 99.83.190.102) for the root domain and one CNAME record (proxy-ssl.webflow.com) for the www subdomain. Webflow does not use AAAA records, so omit them when configuring DNS.
