Why shouldn't I use domain masking or hidden masked frame domain configuration? It seems like the easiest way to setup a domain.
Domain masking is the process of redirecting a domain to a site and hiding the actual domain name of a website from the URL field of a user's web browser in favor of another name. While there are no prohibitions to use this domain configuration method, it does have consequences on your NationBuilder site's functionality.
When using domain masking on a NationBuilder site you might notice that certain functionality on the custom domain site may not work as intended. Below are a list of known issues with domain masking:
- Page paths, think the "/pagepath" part of www.yourwebsite.com/pagepaths, will not render.
- Mobile versions of themes may not render correctly
- Some forms may not submit
- Website analytics might be skewed or non-existent
- Favicons may not render
- Sign-in pages and donation pages may not be entirely SSL encrypted on the URL level
In lieu of these issues, NationBuilder does offer several reliable domain configuration methods. We have a step-by-step guide to configure your domain with NationBuilder.
