Ask Can you educate me on domain redirection to my Webflow website?

[Brajet]

I have successfully created my website and changed all of my DNS settings so that my custom domain works.

I have several other domains I simply want to redirect to this new custom domain website.

The redirect domains will forward to the website.webflow.io address.

However, setting the domains to redirect
with my domain registrar does not work. No matter how long I wait.

I changed the DNS Server information back to what they originally were and they (nearly) instantly forwarded back to their original locations.

Do my DNS Servers need to point somewhere specific so my forwarded domains operate properly and send visitors to my new Webflow website?

If you want to redirect your domain to a Webflow website, you'll first need to connect your domain to Webflow by updating the DNS records. Once you've done that, you can set up 301 redirects in your Webflow project settings. This makes sure old links or subdomains automatically go to the right pages. It's a good way to keep your SEO steady and prevent broken links when you move your site.

Setting up domain redirection to your Webflow website is pretty simple. You'll need to point your domain's DNS records to Webflow. Usually, this means adding an A record and a CNAME record in your domain host's settings. Webflow provides clear instructions on what values to use. Once it's done, give it some time to propagate, and it should work. If you're not sure, Webflow's support team is really helpful.
