A Really Useful Redirection Service

ThingyURL.com is a FREE URL redirection service. It makes that instantly forgettable long url into a short url which is easy to remember. If you want to create a shorter, easier to remember version of a website address then you can create a ThingyURL and pass this on to your customers, colleagues, friends etc. Any one can use the service and you don't have to be the owner of the site to create a ThingyURL for it.

What Can ThingyUrl.com Do That's So Special?

Firstly, you can you use it to generate an automatic name - which is all that most providers give you. If you have a page which you frequently use but its website URL is long
e.g. http://www.sitewithlongname.com/pages/order.htm?d=f&x=22
you could shorten it to http://thingyurl.com/e5. Where e5 is a name (or alias) automatically generated by our system. This is FREE of charge.

But That's Not All!

This is the clever stuff, it allows you to pick a main name (alias) and if you want, another name underneath it (sub-alias). This makes your favourite url's far more memorable and easier to pass on. For example you could choose your alias as your own name e.g. John, Mary etc and then you could have a separate sub-alias for all your sites you would like to memorize E.g. photos, tv, resume, funny etc - you will find this a sinch to remember because they can be names that mean something to you.
e.g.
 
http://thingyurl.com/john/photos
   (takes you to your photo album)

 
http://thingyurl.com/john/blog
   (links to your blog)

 
http://thingyurl.com/john/games
   (redirects to your favourite games page)

 
http://thingyurl.com/john/resume
   (goes to your resume or cv)

 
http://thingyurl.com/john/tv
   (switches to tv listings)

Can I Use It For My Affiliate Sites?

Yes, this is an excellent reason to use thingyurl.com. Sometimes you don't want to make it obvious that you are an affiliate and if the url you need to use does not hide this from potential customers it can put them off. By using thingyurl.com, you can create a name that describes what you're selling and link directly to the affiliate url.
