YOURLS key features

YOURLS is a free, open-source, self-hosted URL shortening platform that lets you create and manage short URLs on your own domain. It provides detailed click analytics, an API, customizable links and a plugin system while giving you full control over your data and infrastructure.

Custom Short URLs

Create short URLs using your own domain or subdomain and choose custom keywords instead of relying on a third-party URL-shortening service.

Detailed Link Analytics

Track clicks with historical data, referrer information and visitor geolocation. YOURLS also provides statistics for individual URLs as well as an overview of your link activity.

Developer API

Use the built-in API to create, expand and manage short URLs programmatically and retrieve link statistics. The API supports JSON, XML and plain-text responses, with support for custom actions when you need to extend its functionality.

Plugin Architecture

Extend YOURLS with plugins that add new features or modify existing behavior without changing the core application. This keeps your customizations separate from the core codebase, making the platform easier to maintain and upgrade.

Private or Public URL Shortening

Run YOURLS as a private URL-shortening service for authorized users, or configure a public interface for broader access. Public installations can also expose the API if you want to let external applications create and manage short URLs.

Bookmarklets for Quick Shortening

Shorten and share the URL of the page you are currently viewing directly from your browser. YOURLS bookmarklets let you create short links without opening the dashboard, making quick link creation fast and convenient.

Flexible URL Generation

YOURLS supports both sequential and random short URLs, with Base 36 and Base 62 encoding options. You can also use custom keywords when you want a specific short URL.

Access Control and Authentication

Private installations can restrict access to authorized users, while API requests can be authenticated using credentials or or signature-based authentication. This gives administrators control over access to link management and API functionality.

Full Data and Infrastructure Control

Because YOURLS runs on your own server and domain, you control your links, analytics, configuration, and underlying infrastructure rather than relying on an external third-party shortening service. YOURLS is released as free and open-source software under the MIT license.

What customers say

Crytek
After launching another successful IP — HUNT: Showdown, a competitive first-person PvP bounty hunting game with heavy PvE elements, Crytek aimed to bring this amazing game for its end-users. We needed a hosting provider that can offer us high-performance servers with great network speed, latency, and 24/7 support.
Stefan Neykov Crytek
doXray
doXray has been using HOSTKEY for the development and the operation of our software solutions. Our applications require the use of GPU processing power. We have been using HOSTKEY for several years and we are very satisfied with the way they operate. New requirements are setup fast and support follows up after the installation process to check if everything is as requested. Support during operations is reliable and fast.
