Short links // Swarm 2014.3: User Guide

Short links

Short links work with your Swarm installation's current hostname, but you have the option of registering/configuring an even shorter hostname to make shareable file/directory links as short as possible.

Register a short domain name, or if you control your own DNS server, a short domain name for your network.
Point the short domain name at your Swarm host.
Edit the data/config.php file and add the following configuration block:
```
<?php
    // this block should be a peer of 'p4'
    'short_links' => array(
        'hostname'  => 'myho.st',
    ),
```
Replace myho.st with the short domain name you registered/configured.
