Custom Domain
Let's say your website is zylker.com and you wish to embed your form in it with the domain forms.zylker.com, you can use such custom domain instead of the default Zoho Forms domain to showcase your organization's brand in the form URLs shared to all your respondents.
Using a custom domain can help:
Promote your brand
Increase the number of responses you receive via your forms
Makes it easier for your respondents to find and remember your organization
Pre-requisites
Before adding a Custom Domain for your forms, follow the below steps:
CNAME Record Mapping for Your Domain
You must own a domain or a sub-domain for your organization. Ensure that you can edit the DNS (Domain Name System) records for your custom domain in the settings of the domain provider.
Add a CNAME (Canonical Name) record in your DNS records section in your domain provider. A CNAME record allows you to use your domain as an alias for another domain.
-
Use the CNAME record to map your sub domain to the Hostname forms.cs.zohohost.com.
For example: forms.zylker.com CNAME forms.cs.zohohost.com
Zoho Forms Public URLMap your domain or sub domain to the Hostnameforms.zohopublic.comforms.cs.zohohost.comforms.zohopublic.euforms.cs.zohohost.euforms.zohopublic.informs.cs.zohohost.informs.zohopublic.auforms.cs.zohohost.com.auforms.zohopublic.cnforms.cs.zohohost.com.cnforms.zohopublic.jpforms.cs.zohohost.jpforms.zohopublic.caforms.cs.zohohost.caforms.zohopublic.saforms.cs.zohohost.sa
It could take upto 48 hours for the changes to your domain to appear on the internet.
Note: CNAME records need time to propagate. If you have already updated your DNS, wait for 24-48 hours. If you try to add the custom domain in Zoho Forms before this time period, you may see an error.
