How do I connect my custom domain to Webflow?

Why connect your own domain?

Key points • A custom domain enhances your hotel's credibility • Login is quick and easy via your hosting account • DNS settings must be correctly configured to enable secure HTTPS access

Connecting your custom domain is an essential step in giving your hotel website a strong and professional identity. An address like yourhotel.com immediately inspires confidence and enhances your visitors' experience. The setup is simple, provided you follow the steps in the correct order.

To begin, access your website's hosting settings in the section dedicated to custom domains. Click on the option to add a domain, then enter your address (e.g., www.yourhotel.com). You will then see DNS instructions to configure with your domain provider (OVH, IONOS, GoDaddy, Infomaniak, etc.).

The configuration relies on two types of records: • CNAME for www • A records for the root domain (yourhotel.com)

Your hosting interface will tell you exactly which values ​​to add. Go to your registrar and add or modify these records according to the provided values.

💡 Tip: Delete any old A or CNAME records that might conflict. A domain should only point to one service.

Once the DNS settings are updated, return to your hosting settings and click Verify. The status will change to “Connected” as soon as the DNS propagation is complete. This can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours, depending on your provider.

Next, activate HTTPS (SSL certificate). This step is essential to secure your hotel website. Most platforms activate the certificate automatically once the domain is properly connected.

Once everything is set up, define your primary domain, usually www.yourhotel.com. This ensures good SEO consistency and avoids multiple redirects.

Finally, test your domain in a browser: • yourhotel.com should redirect to www.yourhotel.com • the HTTPS padlock should be visible • your pages should load normally

If you encounter a problem, recheck your DNS settings: a missing character or an extra record can prevent the connection. External tools like DNS Checker can help you quickly analyze propagation.

Conclusion

Connecting a custom domain is simple when you follow these steps: add the domain, update the DNS settings, verify, enable HTTPS, and set the primary domain. Your hotel website immediately gains credibility and visibility.
