How to buy a domain?
If you don't have a personal branded domain, you can buy the domain via Short.io. The advantage is that no configuration steps are required. The domain will be automatically activated.
Learn more How can I forward my short domain to another website?
The "Main page redirect" option routes visitors from your short domain to any webpage. If users visit the short branded domain (e.g., shortdomain.com), they will be redirected to the specified page. This is very useful if you want to redirect visitors to your main website.
Learn more How to run an A/B test?
A/B testing evaluates the performance of two variants of a web page. With Short.io, you can test which version of a web page performs better. When clicking a short link, a pre-specified percentage of users will be redirected to the original page, the other — to the variation page.
Learn more Is it possible to build an application that uses Short.io?
Yes, you can use the Short.io API to integrate the shortening features to your application.
Learn more How to use UTM tags?
A link with UTM parameters is too long. You can shorten the already UTM-coded link or add UTM parameters to a destination URL straight on Short.io. UTM tags serve detailed information about traffic sources, e.g., determine which social network is the most popular among your users.
Learn more How can I apply password protection?
With 'Password protection', you can limit access to your website. After users click on a short protected link, they have to enter a correct password to reach the content.

Introducing Shortio.cn, our new short link platform for Mainland China
We’re very excited to announce Shortio.cn Launched this month, Shortio.cn is our new Short.io subsidiary, aimed at helping Mainland China keep links short. Short.io already works in Mainland China, but there were a few challenges our users were facing. In order to fully operate in the region, companies need a license — without one, there’s no guarantee a website will be operational indefinitely. That can, unfortunately, mean that our users’ short links in the region are potentially susceptib
New! PayPal support
We’ve been using Stripe for years — we love its support for multiple payment methods, its transparent pricing model, and its robust API. But we didn’t support PayPal. It is, by far, the most requests we’ve gotten for a new payment service provider. Well, we listened, and we’re excited to announce that Short.io now has full PayPal support! This update will be particularly useful for people on the Hobby plan, allowing you to jump in completely hassle-free. Of course, users of other plans can al
Our SLA, a promise that everyone can benefit from
For all our efforts to provide a great service, it all wouldn’t mean much if we can’t maintain a consistent performance. Stability is essential and every click counts. We currently handle over 100,000,000 redirects every single day. Any downtime in that process means that you can lose sales, clarity, and trust. This is why we created our service-level agreement (SLA). At any given moment, we promise a stability of 99.9% — this applies to link creation, access to existing links, and our API.
