How to integrate iPage with Webflow

iPage offers affordable domains that you can connect with Webflow to get clean, semantic HTML with proper responsive breakpoints.

Connect the two platforms through setting up DNS configuration, export static files to iPage's servers, or build API workflows for automated deployments.

Most teams use DNS pointing to keep iPage's domain management while running production sites on Webflow's infrastructure.

Point your domain through DNS

Connect an iPage-registered domain to Webflow hosting through DNS records. This is the standard approach for production sites.

Here are some things you need to do:

• Configure A records and CNAME in iPage's DNS settings
• Preserve MX records for iPage-hosted email
• Let Webflow handle SSL certificates automatically

Your Webflow site keeps full CMS, forms, and e-commerce functionality. Email continues working through iPage by maintaining existing MX records.

Export static files to iPage hosting

Export your Webflow site as static files and host them on iPage's servers. This trades dynamic features for lower hosting costs.

At a high level, you'll:

• Export HTML/CSS/JS files from Webflow (requires paid Workspace plan)
• Upload via FTP or cPanel to your iPage account
• Accept loss of CMS collections, form handling, and e-commerce

Code export requires a paid Workspace plan, not a Site plan. This works for portfolio sites or landing pages that don't need frequent updates or dynamic content.

Build API workflows

Direct API integration hits significant limitations because iPage doesn't provide public API access for standard hosting accounts.

While cPanel servers theoretically expose API endpoints, iPage restricts this for most users. You need VPS or dedicated server access with root privileges, making this impractical for typical integration scenarios.

After getting the right privileges, some things you can do include:

Automate DNS updates

Script DNS record changes when deploying new Webflow projects. Useful for agencies managing multiple client domains.

At a high level, you'll:

• Authenticate with cPanel API using iPage account tokens
• Update A and CNAME records through DNS modification endpoints

Route form data to iPage email

Forward Webflow form submissions to iPage-hosted email.

At a high level, you'll:

• Configure Webflow webhooks to capture submissions
• Build middleware that processes webhook payloads
• Send to iPage email using SMTP with your email credentials

Deploy exported sites programmatically

Automate the export-and-upload workflow for static hosting.

At a high level, you'll:

• Export site files through Webflow's export
• Upload to iPage via FTP endpoints in cPanel's file manager

This isn't real-time, but works when you need iPage's hosting features with Webflow as your design tool.

What you can build

Combine Webflow's design capabilities with iPage's infrastructure for cost-conscious projects:

• Small business sites: Design in Webflow, manage domains and email through iPage's hosting packages
• Static portfolios: Export Webflow portfolios to iPage shared hosting when you don't need CMS or forms
• Campaign landing pages: Build in Webflow, deploy to iPage subdomains for temporary promotions or A/B testing
• Agency client handoffs: Design sites in Webflow, deploy to clients' existing iPage accounts to reduce ongoing hosting costs
