I’m moving our website from Hubspot to Webflow. It’s initially a like for like move of all pages and page URLs.
I want to avoid downtime.
It looks like I have to change DNS settings, including the CNAME, to be able to verify so that I can then publish.
Is there anyway of doing it without having downtime? Can i verify by just adding the .txt and after that add the CNAME and publish at (pretty much) the same time?
Add the verification record only to your DNS, and verify ownership first.
Here’s a walkthrough.
After you verify, let me know if you’re immediately able to set the default domain and publish before making the DNS changes, that would be ideal for zero downtime.
