Alfahosting Webflow integration

How to integrate Alfahosting with Webflow

Alfahosting enables seamless connection of your custom domain to Webflow through DNS Configuration, where you point your root domain’s A records to Webflow’s IPs and create a CNAME for “www” to proxy-ssl.webflow.com.

You can also set up API-driven automation, which uses Alfahosting’s DNS API and Webflow’s APIs to register domains, update records, and publish sites programmatically.

Use DNS configuration

Connect your Alfahosting-registered domain to your Webflow site by configuring DNS records in Alfahosting's control panel. This method suits most users who need to point their domain to Webflow without complex automation.

Configure your domain through these steps:

• Add A Records pointing to Webflow's IP addresses for root domain resolution
• Create CNAME record for www subdomain targeting Webflow's proxy
• Verify domain ownership in Webflow's publishing settings

Access Alfahosting's DNS management through your Kundencenter account. Add two A records with values 75.2.70.75 and 99.83.190.102 for your root domain. Create a CNAME record for www pointing to proxy-ssl.webflow.com. Allow 24-48 hours for global DNS propagation before your site becomes accessible.

Common troubleshooting includes:

• 403 Forbidden errors despite correct DNS settings - resolve by setting default domain in Webflow's publishing settings
• SSL certificate warnings - ensure CNAME points to proxy-ssl.webflow.com and disable Alfahosting's auto-SSL
• Propagation delays - use DNS checking tools to monitor global updates

Build with Webflow and Alfahosting APIs

Direct API integration unlocks capabilities beyond manual DNS configuration, enabling automated domain provisioning, bulk DNS updates, and dynamic record management. This approach benefits agencies managing multiple client domains or enterprises requiring programmatic infrastructure control.

Alfahosting's API (available with Name 500+ plans) combined with Webflow's API enables:

• Automated domain setup for new client projects
• Bulk DNS record updates across domain portfolios
• Dynamic SSL provisioning synchronized with Webflow publishing
• Real-time DNS failover during maintenance windows

Automate domain provisioning

Programmatically register domains and configure DNS for Webflow deployment:

1. Register domain via Alfahosting API using POST /api/domain/register with required contact details
2. Configure DNS records through PATCH /api/dns/{domain}/records to add Webflow's A and CNAME records
3. Retrieve domain data for Webflow's custom domain API using GET /sites/{site_id}/custom_domains
4. Publish to domain via Webflow's POST /sites/{site_id}/publish endpoint

The Alfahosting Nameserver documentation provides API access details and authentication requirements for token generation.

Implement bulk DNS management

Manage multiple client domains efficiently through API automation:

1. Create DNS templates in AlfaDNS-Panel with standard Webflow configurations
2. Apply templates via API using batch operations for consistent setup
3. Monitor DNS propagation through automated health checks
4. Sync domain status between Alfahosting and Webflow using webhooks

This workflow reduces setup time from hours to minutes per domain while ensuring configuration consistency across projects.
