YOURLS is a free PHP script created by Lester Chan and Ozh Richard that allow you to create something similar to TinyURL.

• It is easy to install.
• It has a statistic side that allows you to keep track of all the URLs you are currently using.
• It also easily allows you to choose between making your service open for all or just for you.
• It lets you have customizable links instead of random characters.
• Lastly it has a bookmarklet that allows you to make TinyURLs on the fly!
