FAQ
Common questions.
Do I need a server?
No. The browser posts directly to FormsFort. Your site can be 100% static HTML on any host.
Does this work with shared hosting?
Yes. Since there is no server-side code, it works on any host including GitHub Pages, Netlify, Vercel, Cloudflare Pages, and traditional shared hosting.
Can I style the form however I want?
Yes. FormsFort only cares about the form action, method, and field names. Style it with CSS, frameworks, or inline styles.
What about spam?
Add a botcheck honeypot field. FormsFort also applies rate limits and optional captcha without any configuration on your end.
Stop managing form servers.
Create a production form endpoint, migrate your first form free, and scale when you are ready.
