Masked domains can cause display problems, particularly on mobile devices, and may behave unexpectedly when links are shared on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you still want to use masking, you&#8217;ll need to check whether your domain provider supports it. Here are instructions from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.godaddy.com\/help\/whats-the-difference-between-domain-forwarding-and-masking-32147\">GoDaddy<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/help\/article\/url-redirect-methods-forwarders\">HostGator<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.namecheap.com\/support\/knowledgebase\/article.aspx\/314\/2237\/how-can-i-set-up-a-url-frame-for-my-domain\/\">Namecheap<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some providers, including Squarespace, don&#8217;t offer domain masking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Want to use your own domain as your Paperbell site&#8217;s address?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Forwarding sends visitors <strong>from your domain to a Paperbell URL<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;d rather have your own domain stay in the address bar while visitors browse your Paperbell site, you&#8217;ll want to connect a <strong>custom domain<\/strong> instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2192 <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/paperbell.com\/support\/knowledge-base\/connect-your-custom-domain-to-paperbell\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/paperbell.com\/support\/knowledge-base\/connect-your-custom-domain-to-paperbell\/\">[Learn how to connect a custom domain to your Paperbell site]<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every Paperbell site has its own Paperbell URL.
