URL length

I would like to shorten my URL. It is too long. It won't fit on my new business cards. How do I shorten my URL.
http://wwwronpatzertherapycom.bravehost.com/reichian.html

Re: URL length

well this is your URL

wwwronpatzertherapycom.bravehost.com/

you could have taken out the www part but when you registered for the free subdomain you put www with the rest of it


the link you provided is just a page of your site not your actual site.

You can add index.html at end of above.

all you had to do when you signed up is put ronpatzertherapy but you went the full out as if you wanted a DOMAIN so it made it a longer name.

and it would have been ronpatzertherapy.bravehost.com

But as said the link at top is your Subdomain link.

Re: URL length

I was just wondering if there was some short hand or shorter handle I could use for that longer URL? Is there some way I can resubmit that URL to Bravehost to make it shorter?

Re: URL length

You could go to tinyurl.com and do something like this:
http://tinyurl.com/reichian

Re: URL length

Just buy a shorter domain name and point it at your site.

Browser: Firefox3.0.5

Re: URL length

Buy a new domain & build the site on the it and redirect the old domain.

Browser: ie8

Re: URL length

Thanks all- I went with the tinyurl suggestion.
