Your Own URL Shortener

YOURLS stands for Your Own URL Shortener. It is a small set of PHP scripts that will allow you to run your own URL shortening service (a la TinyURL or Bitly). Running your own URL shortener is fun, geeky, and useful: you own your data, you can share it under your own domain name, and you can do as you please with it.
