Sure, you could use TinyURL or some other URL shortening (or redirect) service. But what happens if you want a self-hosted solution to the all so common long URL problem? Well, I haven’t seen a truly usable tool … until now! Sidepath is a URL shortening tool that you can install on your own web server.
Sidepath is also modest on the server requirements:
- Linux
- Apache
- MySQL
- PHP
You can download the software for free (although if you want support, you need to cough up the munies … c’mon, it’s only $10.75 US).
