Custom Domain

Custom domains are used to showcase your organization's brand in the form URLs shared to all your form respondents. It can be useful in getting a higher number of responses for your forms.

Before adding a custom domain for your forms, kindly follow the below steps:

• You will need to buy and register a domain or a sub-domain for your organization. You may also check the Zoho Sites for getting yourself a free website and get started with your new domain. 
• Now, create a CNAME record in your domain provider.
• Use the CNAME record to map your domain or sub-domain to the Host name forms.cs.zohohost.com.

Now, to add your domain for your forms in Zoho Forms, 

• On the top right corner, click on the profile picture to access your Account Settings.
• Select Custom Domain.

• In the Custom Domain window, enter your domain name and click 'Add Domain'.

• If the domain is available, it will be listed under Domain Names. 
• Now kindly wait for the confirmation mail that will be sent by us for the purchase of the SSL certificate for your domain. It will take around 3-5 days. Your domain's current status will be listed as Pending.
• Once the confirmation mail is received, the domain will be available for use and the current status of the domain will be Verified.

To start using the custom domain for your forms, 

• Go to Settings>>General>>Form Display>>Custom URL.
• In Custom URL, select the domain which you wish to use for your form. 

Your custom domain is all set to be used for your forms.
