    Asked on July 11, 2016 at 10:48 AM

    Where can I find more information on how to mask the jotform.com link

    and use my own domain.com address for this form?

     

    https://form.jotform.com/61705555130146

    Is there a video on how to do this?
    If I create a sub domain name for one of my forms for my domain name
    Forms.my-domain.com
    How do I install my jotform form << https://form.jotform.com/61705555130146 >>
    to appear when visitors go to
    Forms.my-domain.com location?
    Thank you.

    Unfortunately, we do not have any video for this. Depending on the server you have/using, it can vary a lot. If you can provide us with information of the type of web hosting server you have, we may better assist you. As it indicates in our guide, you have to add a DNS record in your server that points to your form.

    Ok I'm with hostgator.
    I have cpanel
    and I set up a Sub domain name of Dental365 for a client where I would like
    to host this form - https://form.jotform.com/61705555130146
    so my link would look like this
    Dental365.FiveStarBusinessReviews.com
    I could just add a redirect on my cpanel for this sub domain name
    but the Jot form address would still show up once the client clicked on my new link
    Dental365.FiveStarBusinessReviews.com

    So I'm told to go to the Simple DNS Zone Editor
    < https://www.google.com/search?q=add+a+dns+record+add+a+cname+record+on+hostgator&oq=add+a+DNS+record%3A+Add+a+CNAME+record+on+hostg&gs_l=serp.1.0.33i21.6112.8077.0.10520.9.9.0.0.0.0.131.705.8j1.9.0....0...1c.1.64.serp..0.4.349.YgMoJGlDn8k >
    and pick the domain name
    which in this case is FiveStarBusinessReviews.com
    and ADD a Record Name and Address.
    If I choose Dental365 as the name,
    it then is looking for an IP address to add a record for it.
    So I skipped down to the section to ADD CNAME Record
    I then add DENTAL365.FiveStarBusinessReviews.com
    For name and record, and add CNAME
    http://dental365.fivestarbusinessreviews.com/
    So It looks like I am missing a step
    where I can actually point the form https://form.jotform.com/61705555130146
    to this location http://dental365.fivestarbusinessreviews.com/

    I have checked the guide on the link you provided and I can see there is not asking for an IP address, as you already noticed there is not any IP address given on the guide about how to set up a custom domain.

    On the guide you can see that there is a page where you can add your sub domain and the CNAME ( from JotForm).

    Are you getting a different page when trying this on your end? 

    Please provide us a screenshot about it so we can know what you're seeing.

    Yes here is the screen shot for adding a CNAME
    I set up the name of Dental365.FiveStarBusinessReviews.com
    and entered the same name for the CNAME
    should I be using Unbouncespages.com for the CNAME and not my sub domain name?
    I am trying to mask / hide my form name URL of https://form.jotform.com/61705555130146
    to be Dental365.FiveStarBusinessReviews.com
    How can I do this?
    Thanks again..
    Vincent

    The added new CNAME record should have value   custom.jotform2.com

    as described on the user guide How-to-use-Custom-Domains-with-Jotform

    Think of it as an alias of your actual domain name.. so when your domain is used, it should redirect to your domain.

    Let us know if you are still not able to make it work.

    Thanks.

    Ok it's working now, I'm not sure if the delay was on my hostgator side or not, but the link is working as described.

    Thanks for your help
