    Questions regarding these instructions:

    1. Platform is Weebly, a "host" section is required can you indicate what is required to be entered here?

    2. If the domain is www.xyz.com then the example would be:

    http://forms.xyz.com/form/1234567890

    3. Nothing additional would need to be done on the domain itself correct? Simply add the CNAME then when using a link to share we would use: http://forms.xyz.com/(form link)?

    1) I'm not sure to what you're referring to? For what you need to enter the host?

    If you have your own hosting, maybe this would help: http://hc.weebly.com/hc/en-us/articles/201372693-How-to-Use-a-Domain-You-Purchased-Elsewhere

    2) and 3) If the domain is www.xyz.com then the address of the form would be www.xyz.com/form/1234567890

    Your CNAME is just pointing to domain, so when someone is accessing your form with link www.xyz.com/form/1234567890, your DNS will actually point to www.jotform.com/form/1234567890

    Nothing else needs to be done except adding the CNAME record.

    Let us know if you need any further assistance.

    Thank you!
