@cyberdave Hi Dave - sorry to bother you. You seem really knowledgeable and helpful in the other forums threads I’ve read. I’m hoping you can help me.
I’ve enabled SSL for my new site. Now I’m just trying to get my domain without www. in front of it redirected, so as not to confuse Google. Webflow is showing me an error message (see screenshots in first post above), so I added the A Records in GoDaddy. But even after adding these records the domain is still showing as ‘Unlinked’.
Hi @WCOC, thanks for reaching out. From the screenshots, I can see that SSL is in use, and the A Records are setup now for the root domain to point to our proxy server IPs, and those appear to be setup correctly. You should also setup one CNAME record for the host “www” and Target should be proxy-ssl.webflow.com.
We use those ip addresses for customers having domain names registered at services who do not yet support CNAME or ALIAS records for the root domain. The root domain in this case is whippersnapperschildcare.co.uk.
If you must use the root domain whippersnapperschildcare.co.uk, the options would probably to use a service like cloudflare, or dnsimple for your domain service provider. Changing to one of those providers will let you use a CNAME or ALIAS record on the root domain, pointed at proxy-ssl.webflow.com, which allows you to set the root domain as the default in Webflow.
I hope this helps, if I can help further, send an email to support@webflow.com and I am happy to take a look further.
