I am trying to shift my site to webflow. Currently, I run my site on a server - where I host a nodejs app and a ghost blog. Currently, https://mysite.com is served by nodejs app and https://mysite.com/blog is served by the ghost blog instance.
How do I host my main site on Webflow and redirect https://mysite.com/blog to my self hosted ghost blog.
If I put IP of webflow on my DNS, then is there a way to redirect to my ghost blog for https://mysite.com/blog – but then where do I put IP of my self hosted ghost blog in the DNS record?
Hi Pranay,
any luck in redirecting your webflow blog folder to ghost? I want to do the same thing: keep hosting my main site on Webflow and redirect https://mysite.com/blog to o my self hosted ghost blog.
Thanks, Andrey
Hi both, I know its a little late but you can do this with a service called HostForward. HostForward is a no-code solution to allow you to run a blog (or any web service) on a subdirectory (subfolder) of a website.
You can do this without a specific service but it requires you to setup a reverse proxy server which is complicated if you are not sure how.
Yes, this kind of setup is achieved by using a service called a reverse proxy.
There are a number of way to setup a reverse proxy, such as using Cloudflare Workers, but unless you’re able to code these methods can be difficult to setup.
The easiest no-code solution out there is a service called Subfold which will allow you to host your self-hosted Ghost blog alongside your Webflow site on a subfolder/subdirectory.
To setup your site
Create a rewrite with the type “Main site” and set the URL to the webflow site (e.g. mysite.webflow.io)
Create a rewrite with the type “Subfolder”, set the path to “/blog” and the URL to your Ghost blog’s URL (e.g. yourblog.ghost.io)

I’ve created a YouTube video on a similar topic for hosting a Webflow site with a second Webflow blog. Most of the instructions are the same. Watch the video here.
