hform/about

Doing forms since 2003.

Most domains this old are parked, squatted or forgotten. This one came back to work. Here's the story.

2003

The secure form provider

hform.com was registered on July 3, 2003 — a time when SSL certificates cost real money, shared hosting rarely offered them, and putting a form on your website that didn't leak its contents in plain text was genuinely hard. hform did one thing: it handled forms securely so website owners didn't have to. Submissions came in, leads went out, and small businesses got to have a working contact form without becoming system administrators.

The quiet years

The web caught up — then overshot

Encryption became free and universal, and the original problem dissolved. hform went quiet. Meanwhile the simple web form evolved into something else: form platforms — accounts to create, builders in iframes, branding you can't remove, plans that start where a small business's budget ends, and your customers' data stored on another continent. The problem hform was born to solve came back wearing a different coat: forms are easy now, but owning your form — and your data — got hard again.

2026

Brought back to do forms right

hform came back to life in 2026 with the same conviction it started with, updated for what the web is now: a form builder that's free with no signup, produces plain HTML you can take anywhere, and — soon — an optional handling service that receives your submissions, filters spam, notifies you by email and lets you download your leads. Hosted in the EU, in plain language, at honest prices.

The promises

Who's behind it

hform is built and run by an independent maker in Sweden — the same hands behind Tentmaker Stores, a store platform for small makers and niche sellers. No venture capital, no growth team, no exit plan that requires squeezing you. Just the old web idea: a useful thing, priced fairly, that works.
