The following guide covers steps to set up your custom domain with "domain masking," where visitors to your PublicInput.com page see your custom domain in their URL bar throughout their usage of the site. It is a more involved process than a "redirect," which simply re-routes traffic to your PublicInput.com site. All options support root and subdomains.

Please note:

Custom domains may take up to 10 business days to process. We currently only support pointing a domain to a project page or public portal.

There is a nominal impementation fee for domains purchased by customers and by PublicInput on behalf of customers.

Custom Domains FAQ

  • How long does this take?

    • Requests can take up to 10 business days to complete.

  • Can you purchase a .gov domain?

    • A private company cannot purchase a .gov domain because these domains are reserved exclusively for U.S. government organizations at the federal, state, and local levels. This restriction ensures the authenticity and credibility of government-related communication and services.
      While PublicInput can assist in this process by providing information, the application and authorization must be completed and submitted by the government entity itself.
