Overview

You can customize your form link to make it more recognizable and aligned with your brand. With Fillout, you can edit the following:
  • Subdomain - the starting text of your link, within the fillout.com domain (e.g., yourcompany.fillout.com/t/kVw9Us9B6Lus)
  • Slug - the ending text of your link (e.g., form.fillout.com/name-of-your-form)
  • Preview - the title, description, and thumbnail that appear automatically when you share your link on social media or messaging apps

How to add a custom subdomain

By default, all form links start with forms.fillout.com (or form.fillout.com for some accounts). A custom subdomain replaces that first part while staying on Fillout’s domain, like yourcompany.fillout.com. It’s available on all plans.
To use a domain you own instead, like forms.yourcompany.com, you’ll need to connect a custom domain. This is available on the Fillout Business plan and above.

Customize subdomain

Click the three dots followed by Change subdomain and enter one you intend to keep in the popup.Screenshot 2025-12-11 at 5.35.32 PM.pngThat’s it! Now all your forms will begin with yoursubdomain.fillout.com.Screenshot 2025-12-01 at 4.54.16 PM.png
The original default form link will still redirect to the same form. There is no need to share the new customized link to those whom you have shared the original link with prior.
You can also remove your subdomain here. Your default form link keeps working either way.
You can also change your subdomain from a form’s Share page. Click Customize followed by Change subdomain.
If respondents see errors like “This site can’t be reached”, “Server not found”, or ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR when opening your form, their network may be blocking the default Fillout subdomain. Every account uses forms.fillout.com (or form.fillout.com for some accounts) unless you change it, so the default subdomain is shared across Fillout users and is sometimes blocked by school, workplace, or internet provider networks. Setting a custom subdomain can help work around this. Your forms will load from your own subdomain, like yourcompany.fillout.com, instead of the shared default, and it’s available on all plans. It also keeps your form links separate from activity on the shared subdomain. On the Fillout Business plan and above, you can also connect a custom domain to host forms on a domain you own. These errors can have other causes too:
  • Device or browser issues - local network settings, device configuration, or the browser itself. For example, respondents on an iPhone or iPad may see “Safari encountered an error”.
  • Temporary outages - occasionally, an outage can make forms temporarily inaccessible. Check the Fillout status page for updates.
To narrow down the cause, ask respondents to:
  • Open the form on a different network, like mobile data
  • Try a different browser or an incognito window
  • Turn off any VPN
You can enter any text for your form’s URL ending to personalize it. Click Share on top to Customize the slug. Screenshot 2026 07 06 At 5 33 19 PM
Changes to a custom link take effect right away. This includes editing the link ending and pointing the link at a different form.
