How can I redirect my old domain to my new domain in Webflow after rebranding?

To redirect your old domain to your new domain in Webflow after rebranding, you can follow these steps:

1. Update DNS Settings: Log in to your domain registrar account where you purchased your old domain. Locate the DNS settings for your domain and make changes to point the domain to Webflow's servers. You can find the necessary DNS records in the Webflow project settings under the Hosting tab. Follow Webflow's instructions to set up your DNS records correctly.

2. Set up Domain in Webflow: In your Webflow project, go to the Hosting tab and click on "Add custom domain." Enter your new domain (the one you want to redirect to) and click "Save." You will receive instructions on how to verify your domain.

3. Verify the New Domain: Depending on your domain registrar, you may need to add a TXT or CNAME record to verify ownership of the new domain. Follow the provided instructions and wait for the verification process to complete. This step ensures that Webflow can host your new domain.

4. Set up Redirects: Once your new domain is verified in Webflow, go to the Hosting tab and scroll down to the "Redirects" section. Here, you can set up redirects for individual pages or entire subdomains.

- For individual page redirects, click on "Add redirect" and enter the old page URL and the new page URL. Make sure to select the appropriate redirect type, such as 301 (permanent redirect) or 302 (temporary redirect).
- If you want to redirect all URLs from the old domain to the new domain, you can set up a wildcard redirect. For example, enter "old-domain.com/*" as the old URL and "new-domain.com/$1" as the new URL. The "$1" placeholder will preserve the structure of the old URL.

5. Publish Changes: After setting up the redirects, publish your changes in Webflow. Go to the "Publish" tab and click on "Publish" to make the updates live.

It's important to note that DNS propagation may take some time. The changes may not take effect immediately, so be patient and allow some time for the redirects to fully propagate across the internet.

Lastly, don't forget to update any internal links or references within your website from the old domain to the new domain to ensure a seamless user experience.
