Subdomains: Using them to shorten an url

Since I started www.untidymusic.com I’ve written over 450 articles, some of these articles are about different projects.

Topics include guitar tuition, theory, recording, mixing, reviews etc.

A problem though with writing in this way is length of url.

For example if I wished to write down an url it’s a bit of pain if I wish to email I have to find said url, copy it and then paste it into my email.

The soloution seemed to be to use a service such as Tiny Url but these urls are hard to remember.

My solution is to use the sub domain service available in my hosting package.

I must point out that I have unlimited subdowmains with my provider ‘Host Gator’.

I’m writing them here as a way of being able to find them and also to maybe give people a solution to the problem I had myself.

So these are my sub domains with description.
