zfreetQ: URL with subdirectories
I have one final question: After using a custom domain, how can I set up a redirect link like mydomain.com/go/my-test? Specifically, one that includes a subdirectory in the middle, since I don't want to use a new subdomain.

Short answer: At the moment, CutMe Short does not support URLs with subdirectories in the middle.
We fully support custom root domains - mydomain.com/my-test and subdomains- go.mydomain.com/my-test
These are the two supported and recommended setups, as they are reliable, scalable, and work cleanly with DNS and SSL.
Using a path like /go/ requires control over the web server and routing rules of the root domain itself. Since CutMe Short operates via DNS-level configuration (A / CNAME records), we can’t safely or consistently manage subdirectory-based redirects without being hosted directly on your main website infrastructure.
This is the same approach used by most link management platforms in the market.
If you have a specific setup in mind or a unique constraint, feel free to reach out to us at support@cutmeshort.com — we’re always happy to discuss options or possible workarounds.
Happy to discuss more and look for possible implementation.
Hope this clears it up 🙂
