How to get a short URL for my website?

Question

These days I've seen a lot of websites using Short URLs for their whole websites instead of a single page reference. Examples:

http://bo.lt
http://ge.tt

Just wondering how to get these type of custom URLs for my website. Can anyone let me know how this works?

Answer 1

Two letter high-level domains, such as .lt and .tt, belong to individual countries. .lt is Lithuania and .tt is Trinidad and Tobago. To get domains under these high-level country domains, just google for the domain name registrar for that country and register it just like you do a .com, .net, .org, etc.
