bit.ly 可助你用自己的短域名來縮址 運用於twitter 等社群平台

這個也許已經開放好一陣子了, 但今天收到email相關訊息, 如下 :

What Is a Custom Short Domain and Why Do I Want One?
The Custom Short Domain is the domain that takes the place of "bit.ly" in a shortened URL. If you were to use "myname.me" as a custom domain, instead of appearing like this:

bitly.com/bOm096G

your links would appear like this:

myname.me/bOm096G

A custom short domain is a great way to brand your content across the web! For example, the New York Times uses "nyti.ms" as a custom short domain, and TechCrunch uses "tcrn.ch".

How Do I Set Up My Custom Short Domain?
Using bitly to power your short domain is very easy.

1) Purchase the short domain you'd like to use. This domain can only be used for your shortened URLs. Domai.nr is a great place to begin your search, and 101domain has lots of exotic short domains for sale. Your short domain name needs to be 15 characters or less (including the dot).

2) Tell bitly about your domain. Sign in to your bitly account, go to “settings” from the upper right pull-down menu, (or click here) and enter your short domain under under “Custom Short Domain.”

3) Create a DNS record for your domain. Using the control panel of the host with whom you registered your short domain (101Domain, GoDaddy, etc), set the DNS A Record for your short domain to point to 69.58.188.49. If you are using a subdomain (such as on.wsj.com) as your custom short domain, you can set the CNAME Record for that subdomain to point to cname.bitly.com.

Remember that DNS changes can take up to 24 hours to propagate.

That’s it!

有短域名閒置中或還沒開發的版友, 或許可試它一試.

如果有個短的 .com 網址已建站,
可考慮將同樣 "前綴(dot前面的字)" 的 .co 註冊下來,
利用 bit.ly 的自訂域名縮址服務, 在社群平台推那個 短.com 網站

.co (以及 .cm) 算是最容易與 .com 聯想在一起(或誤認) 而比 .com 還更短的後綴,
且 co 又可聯想成一個"公司"
用來縮址推同名的 .com 可說是最合式的短後綴吧
