Short links, on your own domain
The same redirect engine as the codes, without the square. Editable after sharing, measured the same way, and on your domain rather than an anonymous one.
Why the domain matters
A link on a generic shortener is a link people have been taught not to click. On your own domain it is recognisably yours, which is most of the difference in whether it gets clicked at all.
Editable after it is out
Change where a link points after it has been sent, printed or posted. The same property that makes a dynamic code useful makes a short link useful in an email that has already gone out.
Organised like everything else
Folders, tags, and assignment to a campaign, so links and codes for the same piece of work sit together and report together.
Everything a QR code can gate or route, a link can too
A password, a minimum age, an expiry date, a scan limit — the same protections the codes have. And the same routing rules: send a click somewhere different by country, device, language, time of day, or how many people have already clicked. One link, several destinations, decided the moment somebody follows it.

Getting there
-
Connect a domain
Usually a subdomain, so your main DNS stays out of it.
-
Make the link
Paste the destination, pick the ending.
-
Share it
Email, print, social — it is the same link everywhere.
-
Repoint it later
Without asking anybody to update anything.

How to do it
Questions
Do I need my own domain?
No. Links work on ours from the first minute; your own is what makes them look like yours.
What happens if my domain lapses?
Anything printed with it stops working and cannot be reissued, because the artwork is already out there. That is the one real risk of a custom domain, and it is why ours stays the default.
Are links case sensitive?
They are matched case-insensitively, because a link read off a poster is a link somebody types wrong.
