div.im was made service to make posting long URLs easier, and may only be used for actual URLs. Using it for spamming or illegal purposes is forbidden and any such use will result in the div.im being disabled and you may be reported to all ISPs involved and to the proper governmental agencies. This service is provided without warranty of any kind.

Occasionally div.im shortened links will be used in spam or to point to malicious content. We take this abuse of our service very seriously and do everything we can to prevent it. Here are some of the ways we help to keep our users safe:

• Shortened URLs are permanent - we don't allow users to change their destinations once they've been created. This prevents "bait and switch" tactics by spammers who might link to real content first and then malware later.
• When we flag a link as spam, we add a very prominent warning page so that visitors know it is likely to be malicious. To help those fighting spam we still show the original destination, but users can no longer visit it without manually copying/pasting the full link into their browser.
• We thoroughly investigate any complaints of abuse we receive and have a dedicated contact email address for these. We aim to act on all abuse complaints within 24 hours (but typically manage better than this).
• We don't just disable individual URLs in response to complaints like some similar services. Since a spammer could create many similar links this would obviously be useless. We blacklist by domain or track down links based on the creator's IP instead whenever possible.
• Our terms are very clear on what usage isn't allowed. Because we disallow use in any commercial email (whether or not it's technically unsolicited spam), there isn't any scope for spammers to skirt around our policies.
• We blacklist other URL shortening/redirection services we know about. This stops spammers creating "chains" of redirects to help them circumvent our protections.

Our general contact email address is: [email protected]

• We can only respond to email written in Thai and English.
• All email from advertisers will be ignored.
• We receive and ignore a lot of weird spam messages, so please make sure your email is clear and is related to our service.

Report Abused

Where practical please write email to [email protected] report abused shortened URLs.

Pattern: xxxxxx#short reason[priority]

Example: aBc123#spam[important]

We aim to deal with abuse reports within 24 hours, but often manage much better. We will typically respond to reports by disabling affected shortened links and adding their destinations to our blacklist if appropriate.

• Is the short url case sensitive?
  

  Yes, the short url is case sensitive. So if your short url is 'div.im/test' (lower case), then 'div.im/TEST' (upper case) will not work or will lead to a distinct site since our shortener engine uses lower case and upper case to identify distinct addresses.

• Does the URL have an expiry date?
  

  No, the short URLs don't have an expiry date, they will be always online. Currently it is not possible to set an expiration date for a shortened link.

• How the redirection is made?

  div.im has a database that associates the long url with a short url. When user tries to access the short url, the browser will instantly redirect to the original page (long url). div.im uses the '301 redirect' code, that is better than '302 redirect' for url shorteners. 301 means that the redirection is permanent and it passes link juice (for search engine better ranking).

We are web application development team. div.im has been developed since 2018 and is growing rapidly in features, links created, clicks and site visits.

We have many websites and online services and we needed to short all links than we posted in social networks, email marketing campaigns, banners, promoted content and links in our sites. So we created at the beginning for our own use and now we are focusing in providing
We were not be able to use other external URL Shortener service providers because:

• Owning a URL Shortener was strategic for work.
• Many URL Shortener services have a short life span because of the difficulty in maintaining the service and dealing with issues (growth, spam, infra-structure, updates, hacker attacks, database consistency, broken links, support...). Before div.im, we used some URL Shorteners that are not online anymore and we lost many links.
• Other URL shorteners were limited and many ads.
