Hosting exported site with Vercel

Design help Custom code
1

I am experimenting with various small web apps recently and heavily using Next.js React with Tailwind css. Deploying it through vercel gives free https which you can also use on your custom subdomain all for free.

I use webflow for our main root domain, but love having seperate subdomain “webapps” each still having https:// - SSL - certification.

What I’m wondering is, can I design website on webflow and export. Than put it on a some kind of “deployable” environment through vercel to have access to SSL verified domain custom to that specific page.

I’m quite new to all this, so hope I explained my situation well enough.

Hi Erbils You can then use Vercel to deploy these files and host your website, which will give you access to a free SSL certificate and a custom domain with HTTPS. Here are the general steps you can follow:
You can design your website in Webflow and export the code.
Create a new project on Vercel and connect it to your code repository (e.g., GitHub, GitLab) where you have uploaded the exported code.
Configure the project settings on Vercel, including the custom domain name you want to use.
Deploy your website on Vercel and test it to make sure everything is working correctly.
Once you have deployed your website on Vercel, you should be able to access it using your custom domain name with HTTPS. Keep in mind that you will need to renew your SSL certificate periodically to maintain the security of your website.Try this hope this will help you

Amazing! Thank you for clear explanation, I’ve successfully managed to use custom domain on my webflow export on vercel. I’ve gone with the github route as you’ve suggested.

Just to make clear, what do you mean by renewing SLL periodically? Do I do that from vercel, or just pushing some commits hence making re-deploy in like once a month makes this process automatically or is there any selection I need to manually do to renew the SSL?

@ankitparmar - Vercel handles creation and reissues of Lets Encrypt SSL certificates automatically on their platform with properly setup custom domains.
