I’m running into an issue with my Webflow site.
In the Webflow dashboard, under the domain section, I suddenly see an SSL certificate error. After updating the domains as instructed in the dashboard, my website stopped working due to a CNAME configuration issue.
The domain was purchased from Hostinger, and it comes with a lifetime SSL certificate — so it shouldn’t expire. That’s why I’m confused about where this SSL error is coming from and how to fix it.
Has anyone experienced this before or knows how to resolve it?
Hi there,
Webflow handles SSL certificates automatically for all connected domains, so you won’t need to use Hostinger’s lifetime SSL certificate. For proper domain connection and SSL setup, you’ll need to update your DNS records as follows:
- Update your DNS records to point correctly to Webflow by creating:
- An A record with hostname @ and value 198.202.211.1
- A CNAME record with hostname www and value cdn.webflow.com
- If you’re using CAA records, make sure to add these records:
Once your DNS records are properly configured, Webflow will automatically provision a new SSL certificate for your site.
Hopefully this helps! If you still need assistance, please reply here so somebody from the community can help.
Hello thank you for the suggestion.
I have tried updating the dns record as mentioned. But still the problem persists.
Also changing the dns record shows error in the site so had to roll back to previous changes.
still unsure what to do :(
