Hello. :-)

The length of the DNS entry is limited.
What to do with very long URL, especially when there are a lot of parameter?

Is it possiblem to squeeze or compress it? Any ideas?

Example: "You have a URL of a transport organisation where you add to the URL query parameter like: dates, destinaltions, traveloption, time of day and so on.

Hey @pm-pm , we are creating a "pro" version of redirect.center but it's going to take a while to go to production, meanwhile you can use https://bitly.com/ and point your dns to url created.

Pro? ;-)
Maybe I can split the long URL in TWO (or more) DNS Entrys and you can read the second (and third) part of the URL from my second (third) DNS Entry.?!

DNS

hello.   --- www.heise.de.(more data part 1)*2*redirect.center.
hello-2. --- (more data part 2)*3*
hello-3. --- (more data part 3)

Its like concatenating. My first request show there is more and you fetch it.

Just an Idea WITHOUT storing Data in a foreign system!

Thanks.

Huh? I don't understand how you can have a CNAME point to https://bitly.com/kkj88 ?? CNames only accept host names and I thought you can't use DNS to redirect anyway. Crappy Network Solutions does not offer subdomain redirection unless you're using there name servers. Thanks! :-)

My goal is to redirect subdomain portal.aaa.com to subdomain portal.bbb.com without browser https SSL errors.
