DoLinker is a professional, self-hosted SaaS (Software as a Service) URL Shortener platform. Unlike basic WordPress plugins that simply shorten links, DoLinker is a full-scale PHP script (built on Laravel) that allows you to start your own link-shortening business—similar to Bitly or Rebrandly.
If you are looking to create a platform where users can sign up, shorten links, and pay for premium features, this is a top-tier choice.
SaaS-Ready (Monetization): It includes a built-in subscription system. You can create different plans (Free, Silver, Gold) and charge users via PayPal, Stripe, Bank Transfer, or Bitcoin.
User & Admin Dashboards:
Users: Get a clean interface to manage their links, see click statistics, and customize short URLs.
Admins: Have full control over users, payment settings, ad placements, and system configurations.
Advanced Tracking & Analytics: Provides detailed data on clicks, including geographic location (countries), referrers, and device types.
Custom Domain Support: Users can connect their own branded domains to shorten links (e.g., brand.link/sale instead of dolinker.com/sale).
Withdrawal System: If you want to run a "shrink-and-earn" site (where you pay users for traffic), DoLinker has a built-in wallet and withdrawal system.
QR Code Generator: Automatically generates QR codes for every shortened link.
Since this is a self-hosted script rather than a simple plugin, you’ll need a server that meets these requirements:
Framework: Built on Laravel (highly secure and scalable).
PHP Version: 8.1 or higher is recommended for the latest versions.
Database: MySQL or MariaDB.
Integrations: Supports reCAPTCHA (to prevent bot abuse) and various social login options.

Use DoLinker if: You want to launch your own link-shortening service, offer branded links to clients as a standalone service, or earn money via ad-monetized links.
