Technical Details​

What's a "Global Zone"?​

When you see "zone" in the Snipzr interface, think "domain for short links."

  • Global zones = Snipzr's default domains (shared by all users)
  • User zones = Your custom domains (Professional/Basic plans)

Each zone (domain) is a container where you can create short links.

All links created with Snipzr domains follow this format:

https://[domain]/[slug]

Examples:
https://snipzr.com/summer-sale
https://zor.fi/docs

Slug Uniqueness​

Slugs (the part after /) must be unique per domain:

✅ Allowed:

  • snipzr.com/sale
  • zor.fi/sale (same slug, different domain)

❌ Not allowed:

  • snipzr.com/sale (already exists)
  • snipzr.com/sale (duplicate)

Frequently Asked Questions​

Yes! You can mix and match. Each link can use any available domain.

Can I remove the Snipzr branding?​

To use your own branded domain (like go.yourbrand.com), upgrade to Basic or Professional plan and connect a custom domain.

Are Snipzr domains permanent?​

Not necessarily, Snipzr may change or retire default domains in the future. In case of a domain retirement, Snipzr will provide advance notice.

Depends on your plan:

  • Free: 100 links per month
  • Basic: 1,000 links per month
  • Professional: Unlimited links

Can I use Snipzr domains commercially?​

Yes! Snipzr domains can be used for commercial purposes on all plans.
