Changing website domain

Hi everyone,
My client needs to change the website url from membrana.media to en.membrana.media. How do I do it correctly? Do I need to set up a 301 redirect and notify Google?

Thank you for your help!

Kind regards, Marina

If you have cpanel and access it is pretty easy. All you need to do is create the subdomain then move all the files from the root to the subdomain using the file manager. Then at the very least add a canonical tag to the old pages to point to the new pages. Generally speaking though I think it is best to make an htaccess file and point all of the old urls to the new urls with a 301 redirect.

Hi Marina,

You can do this 100% in Webflow’s hosting setup + configuring your DNS.

  • In your DNS, add a CNAME with your subdomain en and the value proxy-ssl.webflow.com.
  • In Webflow, add your subdomain en.membrana.media, make it the default domain.
  • Republish your site.
