Why is my website still getting redirected to a different domain after transferring to Godaddy and setting up A records and a CNAME as instructed by Webflow?

If your website is still getting redirected to a different domain after transferring to GoDaddy and setting up A records and a CNAME as instructed by Webflow, there could be a few different reasons for this issue. Let's explore some troubleshooting steps you can take to resolve the problem:

1. Check DNS Records: Make sure that you have correctly set up the A records and CNAME records in your GoDaddy DNS settings. Double-check the configuration provided by Webflow to ensure there are no typos or missing parameters. It's important to note that DNS changes can take some time to propagate, so be patient and allow up to 48 hours for the changes to take effect.

2. Clear DNS Cache: Sometimes, your computer or web browser may still have the old DNS records cached, causing the redirect issue. To fix this, try clearing your DNS cache. On Windows, you can do this by opening the Command Prompt and running the command "ipconfig /flushdns". On macOS, open the Terminal and run the command "sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder".

3. Check SSL Configuration: If you have an SSL certificate configured for your website, ensure that it is properly set up. SSL can sometimes cause redirect issues if not handled correctly. Make sure that the SSL certificate matches your domain name and that you have set up the SSL configuration correctly in both Webflow and GoDaddy.

4. Check Webflow Hosting Settings: In your Webflow project settings, make sure that your custom domain is set up correctly. Verify that you have specified the correct primary domain and that there are no conflicting redirects or settings that could be causing the issue.

5. Consult Webflow and GoDaddy Support: If you have gone through the above steps and the issue persists, it may be helpful to reach out to both Webflow and GoDaddy support teams for further assistance. They can review your specific setup, DNS records, and any other configurations that might be causing the problem. Provide them with as much detail as possible about the issue and the steps you have already taken to troubleshoot.

By following these steps, you should be able to identify and fix the issue preventing your website from redirecting correctly after transferring to GoDaddy and setting up the necessary DNS records.
