Hi im using wordpress and have affiliate links i want to mask in posts

I've heard there is a way to make and shorten urls so that you can have your names like

mycustomname.to/1426

anyone know a script, software or such that can let you do that?

    Open a Notepad then copy and paste below:

    <html>
    <head>
    <title>TITLE THAT YOU WANT TO NAME</title>
    </head>

    <frameset cols="*,1" frameborder="0" framespacing="0" border="0">
    <frame src="https:// YOURSITE . COM" border="0" frameborder="0" name="main" noresize scrolling="auto"></frameset>
    <noframes></noframes>
    </html>
    * Title: you give the title
    * Url: You insert/ replace affiliate link

    Then you change extension from *.txt to *.html

    This is free way!
