I want to make the default domain as mydomain.com instead of www.mydomain.com
i setup the A record to webflow ip addresses.
i setup the cname record to the webflow proxy address.
When i switch webflow default domain to mydomain.com i get an error of to many redirects.
I am using AWS route53 tool to manage my dns.
Webflow support keep telling me to move my dns hosting to cloudflare but i can’t and i want to keep it on AWS route53.
My question is, do you know how to make default domain.com using AWS services ?
I’m in the same boat…we just ported over a massive website but the company uses AWS route53. Moving dns providers isn’t an option. The current website is at mydomain.com so moving to a www version is definitely far from idea.
The confusing part is that on wpengine we are able to use Route53 to have ssl at the mydomain.com root level, so I don’t understand why this seems problematic on webflow.
I’m having the same issue, curently engaging with Webflow support. While it works with a test domain and Cloudflare, I would really stick with Route53 for the real domain.
Would be a first bitter taste for moving to Webflow.
@thomykay - There really is only really one option if you want to stay on Route53. Host the site on www or another subdomain. Technically a proxy server could be spun up that reverse proxied the www subdomain but you may run into issues with certificate renewal on the Webflow site.
I’m a bit confused here as well. This works great using SiteGround/Wordpress. Just came over to Webflow. Why isn’t having the root be default not supported?
As Jeff mentions above, if need be - you could connect a subdomain to your Webflow project and then reverse proxy it to serve the site on the root domain if needed . But keep in mind that while possible, it is not officially supported by Webflow for non-Enterprise customers.
Hey Frank, in your configuration your www. subdomain is the default.
I think the thread was originally about getting route 53 to support a naked domain, e.g. mycompany.com as the default, however Webflow requires DNS providers to support CNAME flattening in this case.
I don’t know route 53’s setup so, not sure if that’s possible. But if you do find a way, please add that too! Someone will benefit for certain.
