What are the steps to host a site on a domain hosted via Google Domains, considering that Google Domains is not available in Germany and the domain is hosted on enom?

If you're using Google Domains to host your domain, but it's not available in Germany and your domain is hosted on Enom, you can still easily host your site on a custom domain using Webflow. Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Set up your domain with Enom: Since your domain is hosted on Enom, you'll need to configure the necessary DNS settings to connect it with your Webflow site. To do this, log in to your Enom account and navigate to the DNS settings section. Here, you'll need to create two DNS records: an A record and a CNAME record.

2. Create an A record: An A record is used to point your root domain (e.g., example.com) to the Webflow IP address. In your Enom DNS settings, create a new A record with the name "@" or leave it blank, and set the value to the IP address provided by Webflow. Save the changes.

3. Create a CNAME record: A CNAME record is needed to configure the "www" subdomain to point to your Webflow project. In your Enom DNS settings, create a new CNAME record with the name "www" and set the value to the default Webflow subdomain (e.g., proxy-ssl.webflow.com). Save the changes.

4. Set up your Webflow project: In your Webflow Dashboard, open the project you want to host on your domain. Go to the Project Settings, and under the Hosting tab, click on "Add custom domain." Enter your domain name (e.g., example.com) and click "Save."

5. Configure SSL: Webflow provides automatic SSL certificates for all hosted sites. To enable SSL for your custom domain, go to the Hosting tab in your Project Settings and click on "Enable SSL." Webflow will automatically generate and configure the SSL certificate for your custom domain.

6. Wait for DNS propagation: After completing the steps above, it may take some time for the DNS changes to propagate and for your domain to start pointing to your Webflow site. DNS propagation can typically take a few minutes to a few hours, but it can sometimes take up to 48 hours. Be patient and allow enough time for the changes to propagate globally.

Once the DNS changes have propagated, your Webflow site should be live on your custom domain hosted via Enom. Remember, if you encounter any issues or need more specific assistance, it's always a good idea to reach out to Webflow support for further guidance.
