What could be the issue if my Webflow site with SSL enabled is showing a "Fastly error: unknown domain" message, even though the www domain is correctly registered in the hosting tab?

If your Webflow site with SSL enabled is showing a "Fastly error: unknown domain" message, there could be a few possible issues to consider:

1. DNS Configuration: Confirm that your domain's DNS records are properly set up. Ensure that you have correctly added both the root domain (e.g., example.com) and the www subdomain (e.g., www.example.com) with the proper DNS settings. You can check this by going to your domain registrar or DNS provider and verifying that the records are correct.

2. Propagation Time: Changes to DNS records can take some time to propagate across the internet. This propagation period can range from a few minutes to several hours, or even up to 48 hours in some cases. If you've recently made changes to your DNS settings, wait for the changes to propagate fully before expecting the site to be accessible.

3. SSL Certificate: Ensure that the SSL certificate for your domain has been properly generated and installed. Webflow automatically handles SSL certificates for your site, but if there are any issues during the certificate generation or installation process, it could result in the "unknown domain" error. You can check the SSL settings in your Webflow project settings to ensure everything is in order.

4. Caching Issue: Sometimes, a cached version of the website may cause the "unknown domain" error to appear. Clear your browser cache, or try accessing the site from a different browser or device to rule out any local caching issues.

5. Hosting Configuration: Check your hosting configuration settings in Webflow. In some cases, if the domain or the hosting settings are set incorrectly, it can lead to the "unknown domain" error. Verify that the correct domain is selected in the hosting tab and that the DNS settings within the hosting tab match your domain registrar or DNS provider settings.

If you've gone through these troubleshooting steps and the issue persists, it may be helpful to contact Webflow support directly. Provide them with all the relevant details, including your domain name, DNS configuration, and any relevant error messages you're encountering. They can further investigate the issue and provide specific guidance to resolve it.
