Back How to use a Free Url redirect service to enhance your web site/blog reach by mattew Free Web Redirection, Free URL Redirection, Free Domain Names (Subdomain Names), Shorter Web Addresses If your website has a long URL (web address) as a result of being hosted on a free web host, these free services provide you with either a free subdomain name or at least a shorter URL that you can publicize on your website. When visitors enter that shorter URL, they will be redirected to your actual website. Unless specified otherwise here, you may assume that the free services impose some sort of advertising on your site, whether a popup window, banner frame, text link requirement, or otherwise. Note also that some of the services listed below provide DNS services as well, and allow the subdomain name you sign up for to be directed to an IP address. In general, URL redirection services are meant for people who host on free web hosts or on their own ISPs. Where possible, particularly if you want a permanent URL for your site that does not disappear, you should get your own domain name. It's so cheap that, unless you have no income at all, you can even get one for your personal web site, etc. You may also want to read my article Tips on Choosing a Good Domain Name.
