EasyRedir for Platforms
People who use e-commerce platforms like Shopify or Etsy, or fundraising platforms like Kickstarter or Indiegogo can also benefit from URL redirects. These platforms rarely allow you to pick the exact domain name or URL to host your product or campaign on. EasyRedir can redirect any domain name you’ve purchased to a deeply nested page on any platform. This allows you to market your idea with a memorable name that’s easy to type into your device, which is very useful if you’re using traditional media to advertise it.
