The most simple shortner is extremely easy to use. All that is needed to get this working is a quick download and dump it on the deployment zone of your choice. As this is a very short script the only downside is that to add links you must place them inside links.ini using a FTP program or editor, but you could improve upon it to allow trusted users to edit the page or add new lines to it.

The version is personally what I expect most people to use. It allows end users to submit their own links for submission and to a point where it allows people to select their own customised link. Once they created it is stored into a database and as long as the database stays up all will be well. V2.3 Allows cname support (subdomains) using a wildcard DNS.
