            Is it possible to set a redirection from one domain to another using Webflow even if the DNS records are set in a different service like Namecheap?

           Yes, it is possible to set a redirection from one domain to another using Webflow even if the DNS records are set in a different service like Namecheap. Here's how you can achieve this:
- Set up your new domain in Webflow:
 
- In your Webflow project, go to the Project Settings.
 - Under the Hosting tab, click on the "Add Custom Domain" button.
 - Enter your new domain name and click "Add Domain."
 - Webflow will provide you with the required DNS settings that you need to add to your domain settings in Namecheap. Keep this information handy.
 
- Configure DNS records in Namecheap:
 
- Log in to your Namecheap account.
 - Go to the domain settings for the domain you want to redirect from.
 - Look for the DNS management section.
 - Edit the DNS records as required. In this case, you'll need to set up a redirect.
 - Create a new URL Redirect record, usually found in the "URL Redirect" or "Redirect" option.
 - Add the destination URL (the new domain you want to redirect to) and set the type of redirection (301 or 302).
 - Save the changes.
 
- Verify the setup:
 
- After saving the DNS record changes in Namecheap, go back to Webflow.
 - Under the Hosting tab in your Webflow project settings, click on the "Check DNS Configuration" button.
 - Webflow will verify if the DNS records are set up correctly.
 - Once the verification is successful, the redirect will start working.
 
Note: DNS propagation can take some time, so it might take a while for the redirect to take effect globally.
Now, whenever someone visits the old domain, Namecheap's DNS records will redirect them to the new domain hosted on Webflow.
