To host a Webflow site on a domain registered via Google Domains but actually managed by eNom (commonly for users in Germany or countries where Google Domains was unavailable), you'll need to point your domain's DNS settings to Webflow's servers using eNom’s interface.
1. Gather Webflow’s DNS Records
- Go to Webflow Dashboard > Project Settings > Hosting.
- Scroll down to Custom Domains and copy the required DNS records:
- A Records (for root domain):
- (a) 75.2.70.75
- (b) 99.83.190.102
- CNAME Record (for www subdomain):
- Name: www
- Value: proxy-ssl.webflow.com
2. Log In to Your eNom Account
- Go to https://www.enom.com and click Login.
- Use the credentials associated with your domain (these may have been provided by Google Domains if your country defaulted to eNom as the registrar).
3. Update DNS Settings on eNom
- After logging in, go to your Domain Management section.
- If eNom is using its default DNS (not using custom nameservers):
- Look for Host Records, DNS Settings, or Advanced DNS section.
- Add two A Records for your root domain (example.com):
- Host: @
Type: A
Address: 75.2.70.75 - Host: @
Type: A
Address: 99.83.190.102
- Add one CNAME Record for your www subdomain:
- Host: www
Type: CNAME
Address: proxy-ssl.webflow.com
- If using custom nameservers (not eNom's default):
- You’ll need to manage DNS via that external DNS provider instead.
4. Configure Domains in Webflow
- In Webflow > Project Settings > Hosting, scroll to Custom Domains.
- Add both versions:
yourdomain.com
and www.yourdomain.com
. - Click Check Status to ensure Webflow can verify the connection.
- Set www.yourdomain.com as the default domain (recommended for best SSL and redirect handling).
5. Wait for DNS Propagation
- Changes can take up to 24–48 hours to propagate, but typically resolve within a few hours.
- Use a tool like whatsmydns.net to verify propagation status.
Summary
To host a Webflow site on a domain managed through eNom (via Google Domains in Germany), update the A and CNAME records in your eNom DNS settings to point to Webflow’s servers, then connect the domain in Webflow’s Hosting tab. Make sure to verify and set a default URL.
