I have a client who moved a WP site to WebFlow and while the site looks good and performs well, there were issues with the WebFlow DNS setup, particularly when invoking SSL.
Why can’t the www.domain.com sub-domain CNAME simply be pointed to WebFlow’s proxy server and leave domain.com for other operations? Why is it necessary to point domain.com to two different IP addresses? That method limits use of domain.com for additional sub-domains, and makes email setup troublesome at best (and that crazy Cloudflare CNAME flattening mess).
Can a domain name-- www.domain.com-- simply point to WebFlow’s proxy server, and then have domain.com set up on a different server and merely redirect requests back to www.domain.com?
That seems to be a more elegant, useful, and flexible solution.
What am I missing?
