Shorty

Shorty is a simple tool for creating shorter, human- readable links from long URLs. You install Shorty on your server, so the links you create with it never go away. You can also manage your links and see how often people click on them.

Why should I use Shorty instead of TinyURL, Lesslink or similar link shorteners available on the Web?
The links you create at TinyURL and other sites are kept on those services’ servers. When they go down, your links go down, and they’re no longer accessible by anyone. When you create a link with Shorty, the link remains working and available so long as your domain is working.
