If I upgrade from the free plan to the Webflow CMS: Site Plan, will my site be hosted or will I need to purchase a separate hosting plan?

TL;DR
  • Upgrading to Webflow’s CMS Site Plan includes hosting, CMS functionality, more bandwidth/storage, and removes Webflow branding.
  • You must purchase a custom domain separately from a third-party provider and connect it to Webflow.

Upgrading from Webflow’s Free plan to a CMS Site Plan includes hosting, so you do not need to purchase a separate hosting plan.

1. What’s Included in the Webflow CMS Site Plan?

  • Webflow hosting with a custom domain (you’ll need to purchase and connect a custom domain separately).
  • CMS functionality, allowing collections, dynamic content, and item filtering.
  • Increased bandwidth and storage compared to the Free plan.
  • No Webflow branding on the live site.

2. What You Still Need to Purchase Separately

  • Custom Domain: Webflow does not provide domain registration. You’ll need to buy your domain from a third-party provider (e.g., Google Domains, GoDaddy, Namecheap) and connect it to Webflow.

Summary

When you upgrade to the CMS Site Plan, Webflow automatically provides hosting, so you don't need a separate hosting provider. However, you must purchase a custom domain separately if you want a branded URL instead of the default Webflow subdomain.
