As SSL is not supported if we use own domain, I would like to ask if my website is SSL encrypted and I create a sub-domain for the form, will the form then be SSL encrypted because my website is encrypted?
Thanks.

I would say that that is not a good practice and your form with not be submitted with SSL. The SSL protocol provides encryption and authentication services, but if a form is not SSL-protected, the site can't be authenticated until after the data has been sent.

Let us know if you have any further questions.
Thank you!

Hi Nik thanks for your reply. So the best practice would be the Form uses JotForm's domain with SSL encrypted and embedded into our own website (also SSL encrypted), then we send out the link of our webpage to user. In this case the form are secured right?

That is correct, that way you will be secured.
