Users submit a long URL, and the AnURL.Me shortener service provides a shortened alias. AnURL.Me shortener provides unique, short, easy to remember link (e.g., AnURL.me/Shga) for long and complex link of unique mappings. The core system maps these short alphanumeric strings to original URLs, storing them in a fast-access database, and uses 301 or 302 HTTP redirection for quick redirection.
