    When you say the URL is too long, what do you really mean? It is easier if you provide an example.

    just buy a shorter domain and redirect your old site to the new one.

    I don't think this applicable.

    Go with Craig's suggestion. You might find some cheap short domains @ BST area.

    Well ok. He says "I want shrink it down to a manageable size."
    He will have problems to shrink a domain without buying a new one:D

    Hi,
    It’s not a big problem I know site called www.dwarfurl.com that provides to make long url in to a small url. It's absolutely free to use, and your newly created link will never expire. Hope this will help you. All the best!
