Any URL shorteners out there that allow you to break the redirect when necessary?

I'm looking for an URL shortener that allows me to break/disconnect the redirect that is set in place. Any recommendations?

  • Pretty links for Wordpress. You can edit and change the redirect, or delete it all together.

    Its not really a url shortener though, but has all the features of one IMO

      I'm looking more for an external shortener service instead of self hosted.
  • Depends on what you mean by "break/disconnect". Do you want to have another page or some sort of message there? I've been using bitly, and if I remember correctly you can at least delete a link.

      I want to spam the short url massively so it would be important that I can delete the link if things go wrong (disconnect the redirect so to say). Most of those URL shorteners don't provide an option for that.

      For example when I go to the homepage of bit.ly, enter my domain name, I have a shortened URL, but no option to delete it. Will try to create an account now to see if I get some options to get rid of it.

      Just checked, no option, I archived the link as there's no option to delete/remove, but the redirect still works, so if I would spam it hardcore I would be stuck with the links that I blast forever.

      This is what bit.ly says on their website:

      Kind of ridiculous that such thing can't be broken, and it turns out it's like that with most platforms.

  • I wanted to have more control over my shorteners too, so I installed my own on a new domain...
