Slug Model
How DexURL builds short link slugs: a generated suffix keeps every link unique, and Pro adds readable prefixes without a land grab over names.
Free default
DexURL creates generated slugs such as dexurl.net/x9f2k7. Users do not compete for names. Links live on their own domain, dexurl.net.
Pro readable text
Pro users can add a prefix such as launch, producing dexurl.net/launch-x9f2k7. The generated suffix keeps it unique. The same applies through the API and CSV import: a slug you send is used as that readable text, and DexURL adds the suffix.
Custom domains
A verified custom domain can brand the host, such as go.acme.com/launch-x9f2k7, while the path still keeps generated uniqueness.
No availability fights
DexURL does not need public name lookups for ordinary links, reducing squatting, impersonation, and support disputes.
