- No ads at all is a very important feature and it means that the Free Url Redirection service provider does not implement any forced ads into users websites. Don't confuse it with "No banner and popup ads", as there are many other kinds of ads that are neither banners, nor pop-ups.. e.g. pop-under or exit ads.. Be careful here :) Some service providers may place a very small frame at the bottom of the page with a link back to their site. This is perfectly acceptable, as they have to be able to get new members!

- Free Domain Name - it means the free url provided looks very professional, like a real paid domain name.

- Free Url Cloaking also known as free url masking - is used to mask your real website address with the Free short url provided. So, your short url will always be in the location bar of your website visitors, and nobody ever knows you are using an url redirection.

- Meta Tags Support. Meta Tags are the tags located in the head of HTML pages. The most important are Title, Description and Keywords tags, and they are very important for your website to be indexed by search engines

- Free Website Statistics. Some Free Url Redirection services provide website statistics for free - number of visitors, referrals, webpage hits, etc. In this case you will not have to use the 3rd party statistics service (counter) to monitor your website visitors

 COMING SOON:

- Free Email Forwarding means you get a branded email address with your free short url, like webmaster@yourshort.url, and the emails sent to this email address are automatically redirected to the email address you choose, e.g. to your_name@yahoo.com

- Free Path Forwarding is the feature that allows you to hide that you are using short url service even more. With path forwarding turned ON you can access the files and subdirectories of your website using your free short url, e.g. www.yourshort.url/forums/ will be in the location bar of your website visitors and will actually point to your real, long address.

- Free Subdomains feature allows you to create subdomains like forums.yourshort.url and point them to different websites and/or to different folders of your hosting account (in other words, you are allowed to create subdomain path forwards of your free short url)

- Dynamic IP support. This feature is useful if would like to run a webserver from their home computer, but unfortunately, have a dynamic IP address

- Full DNS Support is a very rare feature provided by Free Url Redirection service providers and it means that it is allowed to modify all DNS records (A, NS, MX) for the free short urls provided.
