Alternatively, another option is to purchase a vanity URL (i.e., www.myeventname.com) and setup URL forwarding to forward that URL to your Event Website or Form.
A URL can typically be purchased for as little as $10/year and often includes the ability to forward to a URL.
Some sites that sell URLs:
- http://www.godaddy.com/
- http://www..com/
- http://www.networksolutions.com/
