Is there any way to configure the URL for the web map applications created in ArcGIS Online?  I'm creating web mapping applications for different departments in our County and then emailing out the long URL to the recipient.  Is there anyway to configure the URL so it makes more sense instead of the one auto-generated by ArcGIS Online?  Nobody can remember the URLs and as a result I receive requests on a regular basis to re-send the URL.  It would also be nice in the event that I want to redirect someone to a different application because the current one isn't working if I could configure the URL to point to the new web map application.  

Thanks,

Angelia

Hi Angelia,

I usually use bitly, but that's more of a URL shortener and doesn't let you customize. If you've got a web srever you can leverage, you can download the app and host it there, using whichever domain name you have registered.
