Dear Sirs: If you are willing to go to a Windows hosting server, I basically already have the code for your project. The GoCode project hand an unlimited 'redirect' pair codes for the site the tiny url goes to. These type of sites use text files for the redirects and not a formal database. It is coded in Compiled C fastCGI, the same as Google, eBay, and CraigsList. For high volume you want the control. And speed. The user and account allows for an unlimited number of users and accounts. I am a backend coder, not a graphics artist, so you do design, and I'll code it. $3,600, 2 weeks, firm. Regards, David
