What is the error message "Default not allow for this domain" in Webflow referring to?

TL;DR
  • Ensure your custom domain is added in Webflow Hosting settings and set the correct default domain (typically the www version).
  • Verify your DNS records point correctly: A Records to Webflow IPs and CNAME for www to proxy-ssl.webflow.com.
  • Publish your site to both the Webflow.io domain and your custom domain.
  • Clear caches and allow time for DNS propagation (up to 48 hours).
  • Remove any incorrectly configured or unused domains from Webflow.

The "Default not allow for this domain" error in Webflow typically appears when there's a domain misconfiguration or your custom domain is not properly connected to your Webflow project.

1. Check Your Domain Settings in Webflow

  • Go to Project Settings → Hosting.
  • Ensure your custom domain is added under the Custom Domains section.
  • Make sure the correct default domain is selected (usually the www. version, like www.example.com).

2. Verify DNS Records

  • Go to your domain registrar (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap, Google Domains).
  • Check the DNS settings:
  • A Records should point to Webflow’s IP addresses:
    • (a) 75.2.70.75
    • (b) 99.83.190.102
  • CNAME Record for the www subdomain should point to proxy-ssl.webflow.com.

3. Publish to the Correct Domain

  • Back in your Webflow project, click Publish.
  • Ensure that you are publishing to both the Webflow.io staging domain and your custom domain.
  • If only the Webflow.io domain is selected, your custom domain won’t serve the live site.

4. Clear Caches and Wait for DNS Propagation

  • DNS changes may take up to 48 hours to fully propagate, though it usually happens faster.
  • Clear your browser cache or test the site using an incognito window or different device.

5. Remove Incorrect or Duplicate Domains

  • If you accidentally added a domain that isn’t properly configured (e.g., without DNS records), remove it from Webflow’s Custom Domains section.
  • Only keep domains you actively plan to use with correct DNS setup.

Summary

The “Default not allow for this domain” error means your custom domain isn’t set up correctly in your Webflow hosting settings or DNS. Check your domain setup in Webflow, verify DNS records, and ensure the correct domain is set as default and actively published.
