Freeparking
Point Freeparking-registered domains to Webflow-hosted sites through DNS configuration.
How to integrate Freeparking with Webflow
Freeparking offers domain registration and DNS management without marketplace apps or public APIs, making manual DNS configuration the only integration method. This approach gives you full control over domain records while using Webflow's hosting infrastructure. The primary use cases are: connecting Freeparking-registered domains to Webflow sites without transferring ownership, managing multiple client domains through a single Freeparking account, and maintaining NZ-based domain services with global CDN delivery.
Freeparking does not provide public APIs for programmatic integration (see Freeparking help documentation), so all configuration happens through manual DNS setup in their dashboard interface.
Use the Freeparking App
Freeparking does not offer a marketplace app for Webflow. Integration requires manual DNS configuration as described in the domain connection section below.
Connect domains through DNS configuration
You can point your Freeparking domain to Webflow by updating DNS records in your Freeparking account. This method keeps your domain registered with Freeparking while hosting your site on Webflow's infrastructure.
The manual domain connection process requires accessing your Freeparking DNS management panel and configuring records to point to Webflow's servers. After updating DNS records, verify the connection through Webflow's dashboard and publish your site.
Domain connection workflow:
- Access DNS settings in your Freeparking dashboard management panel
- Configure A records to point to Webflow's server IP addresses
- Set CNAME records for www subdomain routing
- Verify domain ownership through Webflow's site settings
- Publish your site after DNS propagation completes
DNS propagation timing varies by location and DNS cache settings. During this period, visitors may see either your old site or the new Webflow site depending on DNS cache timing.
Domain security considerations
Freeparking provides GDPR-compliant hosting and domain privacy features. When connecting to Webflow, your domain registration remains with Freeparking while Webflow handles SSL certificate provisioning and site hosting.
Webflow automatically generates SSL certificates after domain verification completes. According to Webflow's security documentation, the platform manages certificate renewal and HTTPS enforcement without additional configuration.
Security features:
- Automatic SSL certificate provisioning and renewal
- HTTPS enforcement across all connected domains
- Domain-level security through Freeparking's DNS infrastructure
- Domain privacy options through Freeparking's registration services
Embed Freeparking services with custom code
You can embed Freeparking widgets or third-party services using Webflow's custom code features. This method works for adding domain search tools, hosting service displays, or other HTML-based integrations.
According to Webflow's custom code documentation, users with Core, Growth, Agency, or Freelancer plans can embed third-party content using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and iframe elements.
Custom code capabilities:
- Embed HTML elements in page body using the Embed component
- Add JavaScript tracking through site settings header or footer code
- Include CSS styling for custom Freeparking elements
- Insert iframe widgets for domain search or account management tools
Place code embeds strategically on pages where Freeparking services appear. Use the Embed element from the Add panel for inline code or add site-wide code through Site settings > Custom code.
Build with Webflow and Freeparking APIs
Freeparking does not provide public APIs for programmatic integration. According to Freeparking's help documentation, all domain management must be performed through their dashboard interface. Teams requiring API-driven domain workflows should evaluate API-enabled providers like Cloudflare or AWS Route53.
What you can build
Integrating Freeparking with Webflow enables domain management workflows while using Webflow's hosting infrastructure.
- Agency client sites: Manage multiple client domains through Freeparking while hosting sites on Webflow.
- NZ/AU business websites: Use .nz and .co.nz domains from Freeparking with Webflow-hosted sites on global CDN infrastructure.
- Portfolio sites with custom domains: Build portfolio sites with Freeparking domains connected to Webflow's CMS for dynamic content.
- Multi-site management systems: Centralize domain portfolio management in Freeparking while building and hosting sites in Webflow.
Frequently asked questions
Access your Freeparking account's DNS management section and update DNS records to point to Webflow's servers. The manual domain connection guide provides specific A record and CNAME record configurations required for proper routing. You'll need to add A records pointing to Webflow's IP addresses and a CNAME record for the www subdomain. After saving these changes in Freeparking, verify the domain connection in Webflow's site settings under Publishing > Custom domains. DNS propagation typically completes within 48 hours, though timing varies by location and DNS cache settings.
No direct automation exists because Freeparking does not provide public APIs. According to Freeparking's help documentation, all domain management must be performed through their dashboard interface. Webflow provides comprehensive REST APIs for site and content management, but these cannot control Freeparking domain settings. Teams requiring automated domain workflows should consider API-enabled providers like Cloudflare or AWS Route53. For Freeparking domains, plan for manual DNS configuration processes.
Webflow automatically provisions and manages SSL certificates after you connect your Freeparking domain. According to Webflow's security documentation, the platform handles certificate generation, renewal, and HTTPS enforcement without requiring manual configuration. After DNS records propagate and domain verification completes, Webflow generates a free SSL certificate. Certificate renewal happens automatically before expiration. You maintain domain registration and DNS control through Freeparking while Webflow manages hosting security.
You can register domains through Freeparking and point them to Webflow, but you cannot host Webflow-built sites on Freeparking's servers. Webflow sites require Webflow's hosting infrastructure for proper rendering and CMS functionality. The official integration page confirms that integration focuses on domain connection rather than hosting flexibility. Use Freeparking for domain registration and DNS management while relying on Webflow's hosting for site delivery.
Add Freeparking widgets or domain search tools using Webflow's custom code embed feature. The custom code documentation explains that users with Core, Growth, Agency, or Freelancer plans can embed HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and iframe content. Drag an Embed element from the Add panel onto your page, then paste your Freeparking embed code. For site-wide tracking or scripts, navigate to Site settings > Custom code and add code to the header or footer sections. Embedded code executes in the browser and can display domain availability searches, account management interfaces, or promotional content.
