Mighty URL Shortener is a self-hosted PHP script. This means you install it on your own hosting or server. We do not host it for you. You use it to run your own short-link website, like a private bit.ly on your own domain. You and your members turn long URLs into short, branded links. You send each visitor to the right place and see detailed statistics for every click. You control everything from one administration panel, including membership plans, domains, payments, and content.
The current version, 3.6.2.1, supports PHP 8.4 and PHP 8.5. See the Hosting and System Requirements on this page before you buy.
Who Mighty URL Shortener Is For
- Businesses and marketers who want branded short links and click statistics on their own domain. They do not want to use the service of another company.
- Website owners who want to offer a URL-shortening service with free and paid membership plans.
- Developers and agencies who need a link shortener with an API that they can host and manage themselves.
Mighty URL Shortener or AdLinkFly?
Both scripts create short links, but they are built for different goals:
- Mighty URL Shortener is for link management: branded links, smart targeting, password protection, bundles, and detailed analytics. Members do not earn money from their links.
- AdLinkFly is for a paid link-shortening business: publishers earn from qualified views, advertisers buy campaigns, and you manage payouts.

Mighty URL Shortener Features
Advanced Analytics and Reports
You and your members can see who clicked each link and where they came from:
- Continent, country, state, and city
- Operating system, device brand, and device model
- Browser and referring website
- Social share counts
Smart Targeting
Create one short link that sends every visitor to the right destination. You do not need a separate link for each audience. Route visitors by:
- Country
- Operating system, such as Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and Linux
- Device type: desktop, smartphone, or tablet
- Device model, such as iPhone, iPad, and Kindle
Link Management
- Custom aliases: choose the words in a short link, with configurable minimum and maximum lengths.
- Password protection: ask for a password before a visitor can open a link.
- Bundles: group links into folders, add a link to several bundles, and share bundles publicly.
- Edit links: change a link after creating it, including the destination URL when the member’s plan allows it.
- Custom redirect page: show your logo and colors on the page that visitors see before they continue. You can also show articles from your website there.
- Link information page: a public page with details and statistics for each short link.
- Comments: let visitors comment on a short link when the member’s plan allows it.
Membership Plans
Create as many free, paid, trial, or hidden plans as you need, and choose what each plan can do:
- Daily and monthly limits for new short links
- Editing links, changing destination URLs, custom aliases, password protection, deleting links, and bundles
- Showing or removing ads on the short-link page, and the countdown time
- A comment box on short-link pages
- Which API tools the plan can use
- Hidden plans that only administrators can see and assign
Payment Gateways
Accept payments for paid membership plans. Members can pay with PayPal, Stripe, Skrill, Coinbase, CoinPayments, WebMoney, Perfect Money, Payeer, Paystack, Paytm, wallet balance, or bank transfer.
