Free Short URL Script: Shorty
18
Feb
Similar to TinyURL, a short URL service can be created in minutes with Shorty.
Shorty is a PHP script for creating shorter, human readable links from long URLs.
A reason to prefer using Shorty for personal use rather than TinyURL or similar services may be eliminating the risk of these services becoming offline and losing your links, as you can use this free short URL script forever.
Shorty has an admin interface where links can be organized and clicking statistics can be viewed. You can even have a RSS for your links.
Requirements: PHP 4+, MySQL 3.23+, and Apache 1.2+
Compatibility: All Major Browsers except Internet Explorer

Yeah, Shorty is great. Pretty easy to install, and it has plenty of uses.
Some WordPress users may want to check out the GoCodes Redirection plugin. It does a similar thing, but it integrates with WordPress.

Hi, when can I download script like tinyurl?
Script installed in under 5 minutes…you all did remember to make a MySQL database, right? Very fast, customizable, and has user login to prevent people from abusing your domain (happens with tinyurl scripts). Laterz!
