    Hello,

    I am looking for something that can create and manage redirects. I've been looking at gotapex.com and I see that all of their links are like

    /?12R5FNSS
    /?585gh142
    /?96GRHTRG
    /?EF93JY81
    ETC...

    I know they aren't manually creating redirect pages or manually entering these into a .htaccess so how are they doing it?

    If anybody could point me in the right direction that would be great. Thank you.

    do a search for a "short url" script. There are plenty around.

    Essentially they're generating short codes (often taking a substr of the url's md5()), storing them in the database and then when the page gets called they go back to the database to get the full url.
