To redirect the non-www version of your domain name to the www version using Webflow, you don't have to publish the website in two places. Here are the steps to set up the redirect within the Webflow platform:
1. Log in to your Webflow account and navigate to your project's dashboard.
2. Click on the "Hosting" tab in the left sidebar.
3. Under the "Domains" section, you'll see your primary domain listed. Click on the ellipsis (...) next to it and select "Manage DNS".
4. In the DNS settings, you'll see two type A records with a blank hostname. These records point to Webflow's servers. Take note of the IP addresses mentioned (should be 34.193.69.252 and 34.193.204.92).
5. Now, click on the "Add record" button and select "URL Redirect".
6. In the "Hostname" field, enter your non-www version of the domain (e.g., example.com).
7. In the "Protocol" field, select "http://" if your website doesn't have SSL enabled, or "https://" if it does.
8. In the "Destination" field, enter the www version of your domain (e.g., www.example.com).
9. Optionally, you can set the "Redirect type" as 301 (permanent) or 302 (temporary). It's recommended to use a 301 redirect for SEO purposes.
10. Click on the "Add record" button to save the redirect.
Once you've completed these steps, Webflow will automatically redirect any traffic from the non-www version of your domain to the www version. This way, visitors accessing your website through the non-www URL will be seamlessly redirected to the correct version without the need for multiple publishing locations.
