URL Shortener will obviously make it easier for us to share pages with long links to friends or anyone on the internet. Of course for you content creator or web developer is very good if have own URL Shortener. Not only create a professional impression on the company or business and even your blog, but also will make it easier to analyze the content.
Suppose you want to have a short URL from example.com to examp.ly, you might also see people using bit.ly or goo.gl to share a web page. To make such services Bitly (bit.ly) and Goo.gl (goo.gl) here are some Open Source URL Shortener Software you should know:
1. YOURLS
YOURLS is built using PHP programming language and when viewed from the source code is not a lot of code. So easy to run on various platforms. [Installing YOURLS is as easy as turning the palm of the hand] (http://yourls.org/#Install).
2. POLR
Still using the PHP programming language, POLR is URL Shortener software that is more modern than YOURLS, but for its features are not as complete YOURLS. For documentation how to run POLR can be found on documentation page.
3 Kutt
From NodeJS there is a pretty good one in my opinion, the name is Kutt, Kutt feature is also complete like Custom domain, Custom URL for shortened links (/ zZ4a) or you can set it to (/promo) for example, install a password for links and some other features that can be viewed [at GitHub] (https://github.com/thedevs-network/kutt).
4 LESSN MORE
Lessn More also uses PHP programming language. Well, but like me this is an old project and development activity is not so active right now. But it is worth to reference, maybe you like it. Go to project page.
Maybe it’s just some of the entire open source project url shortener in the world. Or maybe you know the others?
