Update: We have shut down this service in 2016 due to expensive costs of server hosting and low return
With Goo.gl, bitly and TinyURL serving Billions of redirects per month, we thought why not try our development skills to create a system that could at least take out some portion of the URL Shortening Service Market and offer some more exciting & unique features to web users. With the efforts we put in, we succeeded in building a Web tool utility that is now serving over 2 Million redirects per month just within one month of its initial launch! Due to a massive traffic flow, our Linux servers crashed a multiple times, forcing us to upgrade our Private Dedicated servers. Since we always market a project before revealing it to our blog readers, we believe it's the right time to unveil STC Network's 4th Mega Project entitled "uCut.it"
uCut.it is soon going to be the biggest Link Cutter Service which allows you to easily Create, Customize, Password Protect and Safely share your long-lengthy URLs like never before! We have got widgets, Developer API and Browser extensions for you! You can now hide your affiliate links, beautify links in your power-point presentation slides, forums, emails, Mobile SMS and safely share them anywhere you like. The system can be used for any purpose as long as it complies with our TOS.
The service offers some extremely exciting features for Registered Users which are worth trying out for free. Lets take a quick tour of all the great features ucut.it offers.
PS: The service is running in Beta mode and under constant development phase. We will continue providing it for free irrespective of its high server costs. It's a Joint venture by the team of Dirt Farmer and STC Network. I would like to exceptionally thank Prashanth Sarda for making it possible.
