DNS Made Easy

How to integrate DNS Made Easy with Webflow

Connecting DNS Made Easy to Webflow gives you enterprise-grade DNS management. This integration enables advanced DNS features like failover routing, geo-DNS capabilities, and comprehensive analytics that go beyond standard domain hosting.

Easily integrate DNS Made Easy with Webflow by configuring your DNS records in Webflow. If you need more custom functionality, you can also build with DNS Made Easy and Webflow APIs.

Configure DNS records

Set up your custom domain by configuring DNS records in the DNS Made Easy dashboard. This method requires no coding and provides full control over your DNS infrastructure while Webflow handles the hosting and SSL certificates.

Use this method to:

• Point custom domains to your Webflow site using A records and CNAME configuration
• Maintain existing email services while hosting your site on Webflow
• Configure multiple subdomains for different services
• Set up DNS failover for high-availability requirements

To connect your domain, add two A records pointing to Webflow's IP addresses (75.2.70.75 and 99.83.190.102) for your root domain, and create a CNAME record pointing www to proxy-ssl.webflow.com. DNS changes typically propagate within hours but can take up to 48 hours globally.

For advanced configurations, use DNS Made Easy's failover features to automatically redirect traffic to backup servers if Webflow experiences downtime. This requires configuring health checks and backup IP addresses in your DNS Made Easy account.

Build with Webflow and DNS Made Easy APIs

Create automated workflows between DNS Made Easy and Webflow using their respective APIs. This approach enables dynamic DNS management, automated failover, and seamless integration with deployment pipelines.

Build automations to:

• Automatically update DNS records with the DNS Made Easy REST API when publishing sites
• Sync domain configurations across multiple Webflow projects
• Implement blue-green deployments with automated DNS switching
• Create custom failover logic based on site health checks

The integration requires using DNS Made Easy's /dns/managed/{domainId}/records endpoint to manage A and CNAME records programmatically, combined with Webflow's Sites API for domain management and publish webhooks.

Automated DNS record management

Use the DNS Made Easy API to programmatically create and update DNS records when deploying Webflow sites. Make POST requests to /dns/managed/{domainId}/records with your Webflow IP addresses to automate domain setup across multiple sites.

This eliminates manual configuration errors and speeds up site launches, especially useful for agencies managing multiple client domains.

Dynamic failover configuration

Implement automated failover by combining DNS Made Easy's failover endpoints with Webflow publish webhooks. Configure health checks through /dns/managed/{domainId}/records/failover to automatically switch traffic to backup servers during outages.

Monitor your Webflow site's uptime and trigger DNS updates through custom scripts or automation platforms like Make when issues are detected.
