How do sub-domains work?

[reallukeburrows (Luke Burrows)]

Hi there everyone,

I’m new to Webflow and want to move my WP site over. But I want to keep the blog on WP.

I understand I can do this via the use of sub-domain.

Any ideas on how this works in practice?

Thanks!

At your DNS provider (maybe you’re using your domain name provider, or maybe something like Cloudflare) you’d specify A/CNAME records, specifying the given name of the subdomain and where this should point to.

So you’ll end up with some records like this:

• domain.com pointing to Webflow IP addresses
• Probably www.domain.com pointing to Webflow IP addresses or the root domain.com
• blog.domain.com pointing to the IP address of the server hosting your WP blog pages

Then you’d build your site on Webflow which would be the main website, and you’d handle the blog section as an entirely separate entity.

Thank you. I will try that

Hi everyone,

i’m also new to Webflow and i have the same question but just in different order. I want to keep my global site in a different hosting server and connect a subdomain to a landing page in webflow.

Any ideas on how this can work?
