How to integrate Network Solutions with Webflow

Connect your Network Solutions domain to your Webflow site to host production websites on your own domain. This integration lets you manage domain registration through Network Solutions while Webflow handles hosting, SSL certificates, and content delivery.

You can connect through Quick Connect for automatic DNS setup, configure DNS records manually in Network Solutions for direct control, embed Network Solutions widgets using Code Embed elements, or use Network Solutions APIs for programmatic domain management.

Here’s how to do it.

Use Quick Connect to automate setup

Quick Connect handles DNS configuration automatically through Entri integration. Webflow sets up required DNS records without manual entry in Network Solutions' interface.

Use this method when you control your Network Solutions account and don't run other services on the domain. Here’s how to implement this connection:

  1. Open Site Settings > Publishing > Production
  2. Click Add a custom domain then Quick connect domain
  3. Enter your Network Solutions domain
  4. Select Network Solutions from the DNS provider list
  5. Authorize the Entri integration when prompted
  6. Wait up to 48 hours for DNS propagation (the time it takes for DNS changes to spread across internet name servers)

Quick Connect handles these DNS configurations:

  • Automatic A record creation: Points root domain to Webflow's IP addresses (75.2.70.75 and 99.83.190.102)
  • CNAME configuration: Sets www subdomain to proxy-ssl.webflow.com
  • Verification setup: Adds TXT records for domain ownership confirmation
  • SSL provisioning: Triggers automatic SSL certificate generation through Let's Encrypt

DNS changes take 24 to 48 hours. Quick Connect monitors propagation status and notifies you when the domain becomes accessible.

Configure DNS manually

Manual DNS setup gives you direct control over record creation and troubleshooting. Use this method when Quick Connect isn't available or when you manage DNS records for multiple services like email, subdomains, or other applications alongside your Webflow site.

Configure three DNS record types in Network Solutions' Advanced DNS interface. Webflow provides specific values for each record during domain connection setup.

  1. Access Network Solutions account and go to Domains > Advanced Tools > Manage Advanced DNS Records
  2. In Webflow, copy DNS record values from Site Settings > Publishing > Custom Domains
  3. Create A record with host @ pointing to 75.2.70.75
  4. Create second A record with host @ pointing to 99.83.190.102
  5. Create CNAME record with host www pointing to proxy-ssl.webflow.com
  6. Create TXT record with host _webflow containing Webflow's verification code
  7. Save changes and wait for propagation

Here are some details about this configuration:

  • A records for apex domain: Use two A records since Network Solutions doesn't support ANAME or ALIAS records
  • CNAME for subdomain: Points www traffic to Webflow's CDN infrastructure
  • TXT record verification: Confirms domain ownership before SSL certificate issuance
  • CAA record configuration: Required for SSL certificates when Network Solutions applies restrictive default policies

Check propagation status using DNS lookup tools like DNS Checker or What's My DNS after 24 hours.

Use Code Embed for widgets

Webflow's Code Embed element supports integration of Network Solutions widgets or third-party tools that require custom HTML. Add scripts directly to your design canvas or within page settings.

Use this method when you need to embed Network Solutions-related functionality like domain search widgets or status monitors. The embed supports HTML, CSS, and JavaScript up to 50,000 characters per instance.

Here’s how to implement this integration:

  1. In Webflow, drag Code Embed from the Add panel
  2. Paste your HTML, CSS (within <style> tags), or JavaScript (within <script> tags)
  3. Save and publish your site

Code Embed capabilities include:

  • Custom script integration: Add tracking codes or third-party service scripts
  • Widget embedding: Insert domain search forms or status monitors
  • Style control: Include CSS for widget appearance
  • Page-level placement: Add code to specific pages through page settings

Code Embeds render after page load. Scripts that depend on immediate execution may need placement in the page <head> section through site settings instead.

Build with APIs

Network Solutions provides domain management APIs through their Partner Protocol for developers building custom workflows or managing multiple domains. The XML-based API supports domain registration, renewal, transfer operations, and DNS record management.

Use the API when you need to automate domain management tasks programmatically. The API supports:

  • Programmatic domain registration: Automate domain purchases for client projects
  • Bulk DNS record management: Update DNS records across multiple domains
  • Domain availability checking: Query domain availability status for bulk operations
  • Domain transfer operations: Initiate and manage domain transfers through code

The API uses XML-RPC protocol rather than REST interfaces, requiring XML request formatting and response parsing. Network Solutions provides no webhook support for real-time notifications, requiring polling-based implementations for status updates.

Note: These APIs are not commonly used for standard Webflow integration since DNS configuration through Quick Connect or manual setup covers most use cases. For programmatic domain management requirements, consult Network Solutions' developer resources.

What you can build

Integrating Network Solutions with Webflow enables custom domain hosting for marketing sites, client projects, membership portals, and product landing pages built in Webflow.

  • Marketing websites: Host marketing sites on your Network Solutions domain with Webflow
  • Client project delivery: Design client websites in Webflow while clients maintain domain control through their existing Network Solutions account
  • Product landing pages: Launch campaign-specific landing pages under subdomains of your main Network Solutions domain
  • Membership portals: Create gated content sites hosted on custom domains managed through Network Solutions DNS

Frequently asked questions

  • DNS changes through Network Solutions take 24 to 48 hours to propagate globally. You can check propagation status using DNS lookup tools like DNS Checker or What's My DNS that query name servers worldwide.

    According to the Webflow domain connection guide, Webflow waits for complete propagation before issuing SSL certificates, which means your site may not be accessible under your custom domain during this period.

  • Quick Connect modifies your DNS records automatically. According to the Quick Connect documentation, review your existing DNS configuration before using automated setup. Use manual DNS configuration when you need to preserve specific records or manage complex DNS setups alongside Webflow hosting.

  • No, Network Solutions does not support ANAME or ALIAS records. You need to configure two A records pointing to Webflow's IP addresses (75.2.70.75 and 99.83.190.102) for apex domain connection. This approach works reliably but requires IP address updates if Webflow changes infrastructure.

  • Yes, you can create separate CNAME records for different subdomains in Network Solutions' DNS settings, with each pointing to proxy-ssl.webflow.com or your Webflow site's default domain. Each subdomain requires individual configuration in Webflow site settings. Consult Webflow's domain connection documentation for subdomain setup specifics.

  • Add a custom class to your collection list in Webflow, then target that class in your JavaScript. Place your script in the page's custom code Before tag section. The Isotope initialization documentation shows jQuery, vanilla JavaScript, or HTML data attribute methods:

    var $grid = $('.collection-list').isotope({
  itemSelector: '.collection-item',
  layoutMode: 'fitRows',
  getSortData: {
    name: '.name',
    category: '[data-category]'
  }
});
