Top URL Shortening Services – And The Rest
Using URL shortening services in Internet conversations, forum threads, IM chats and Twitter can be extreemly useful. So here is a list of the URL shortening services I’ve discovered, there are many more, though how long they will survive is anyones guess.
If you want your own domain name I would not recommend using any of these services, buy a domain name instead. Ok you may have to spend $3 or $4 a year on a domain name and a further $20 to $50 a year for hosting but if you really what to protect your image, status and band on the Internet then this is the professional way to go. You will find links at the foot of this article on, “How To’s” for domain name purchasing and hosting or you can simply look in my sitemap (menu bar).
