CNAME Record Mapping for Your Domain
Before adding a Custom Domain for your forms, follow these steps:
- You will need to buy and register a domain or a sub-domain for your organization.
- Now, create a CNAME record in your domain provider.
- Use the CNAME record to map your domain or sub-domain to the Hostname forms.cs.zohohost.com.
Note:
If you are accessing Zoho Forms from forms.zoho.eu, then map your domain or sub-domain to the Hostname forms.cs.zohohost.eu.
If you are accessing Zoho Forms from forms.zoho.in, then map your domain or sub-domain to the Hostname forms.cs.zohohost.in.
If you are accessing Zoho Forms from forms.zoho.com.au, then map your domain or sub-domain to the Hostname forms.cs.zohohost.com.au.
