We’ve been getting quite a few queries about our beta program for URL.ie accounts. As URL.ie is a free web service, paid-work takes precedence. Don’t take that to mean we don’t care, or don’t commit to providing a reliable shortening service 24/7; but it does mean new feature roll-outs can be held up by “real world” work!

We’ve done our testing, and are happy with the whole process. Our stats are using too much resources, however, so we’re battling with what to do here. While we chew on that, we’ll roll out simple stats and accounts for all, with detailed stats disabled for now. Reduced being the just the number of clicks / last click.

As of now, the beta program is closed. We’ll start to roll out “accounts for all” in the next few weeks. We have a bit of work to do on caching before we can flip the switch, but we’re nearly through all that!
