By Shaheer Malik · Source: Framer Help: How to self host using a reverse proxy, read on 29 October 2026
Quick answer: A Framer site and something hosted on Netlify can share a brand with a subdomain each, Framer's Multi Site rewrites serving the Netlify site at a path, or a Netlify reverse proxy with Framer as the origin. Framer's help names Netlify among supported proxy hosts.
How to connect Netlify to Framer
- Simplest: give each its own subdomain
- Framer in front: add a Multi Site rewrite to the Netlify site's HTTPS URL at a path such as /docs
- Netlify in front: add proxy rewrites on Netlify to the Framer site
- Test every path and set the canonical URL
Good to know
- Single-domain setups need Framer Pro with Advanced Hosting, or Enterprise
- Rewrites are evaluated in order; specific paths go first
Three ways to share a domain with Framer
| Setup | How it works | Needs |
|---|---|---|
| Subdomains | The Framer site on example.com, the app on app.example.com | DNS records only |
| Framer Multi Site | Framer serves another project or an external HTTPS site at a path, keeping the visitor's URL | Rules in Site Settings, Hosting; a target Framer project needs a paid plan |
| Reverse proxy | Your host, such as Vercel, Netlify or Cloudflare, sits in front with Framer as the origin | Framer Pro with the Advanced Hosting add-on, or Enterprise |
Rewrite rules support wildcards, named parameters and capture groups, and run in the order listed, so put specific paths before broad ones.
