Looking for: EU URL Shortener (Bit.ly alternative)
I don't use it much but I use URL shorteners sometimes. Currently every alternative I can find is US based. Does anybody have any suggestions for EU based URL shortener websites?
My main usage is just having a shorter URL but limited statistics would ideally also be there (mainly amount of clicks per day)
If you want to selfhost, consider this: https://programming.dev/post/26631209
Currently just using infomaniaks free hosting tier. Might look into this if I ever start paying for hosting. Thanks!
Adminforge.de has some services and there is a link shortener. I think all servers are located in Germany and the apps are mostly in German.
T1p.de is a german digest.
Urly (Italy) and urlr (France)
From here: https://www.goeuropean.org/, haven't actually used either myself but maybe you can report back some time if you go ahead with one or both?
https://lmy.de/page/impressum If you have your own domain, then yourls could be a solution and install it on the server itself, as I once did here https://b-ge.de/y/. Buy from EU https://b-ge.de/y/eu
Edit: A few advantages of hosting your own URL shortener on your own web server like yourls. I have captcha configured, but that's just protection because my server is very weak and I can do without it. Unpacked in the subdirectory, this also works for all other domains as a symbolic link, e.g. https://babsi.de/y/eu or https://babsi.de/y/bfe is also b-ge.de/y
Here is a list of URL shorteners provided by CHATONs
