Thanks Salvador. What I actually meant was I want to use my own domains - I need to create a system that spits out short codes for our own controlled and repurposable needs. Generating codes that leverage minimalistic goals, complete with exclusion lists, etc I've found is not found easily on the net (like in a module). So just wondering if someone has done some lifting, otherwise we have to do it from scratch.
 
That would be cool if there was a service that just generated unique shortcodes, but I don't see any.
