Best free URL redirect?

[.]

Hello, all! About a week ago, I posted a question here asking what the best
domain name provider was. However, my current ISP won't let me have a Dot
Com for technical reasons. So I've chosen another route - a free URL
redirection provider.

What are the top name, most reliable providers of free URL redirection? So
far, I've signed with Web Alias and Bravenet. I signed for a clik.to (and
two other domains) but I have to allow for a small pop-up banner ad.
Bravenet gave me a clik.to, and their ad is 470x400. However, I have not
seen their ad appear with the load of my web site yet. For these reasons, I
haven't made my URL-redirected site official.

This is what I'm looking for:
- Reliable, reputable, and well-known
- Long URL cloaking (long URL is always hidden)
- Least obstructive ad
- Easy to type domain name (prefix, not suffix)

Can anyone give me any pointers on their choice of free URL redirection
providers? IF possible (if), I'd like a provider that doesn't force ads.
I've got a pretty good web site, and I think the partial reason for my
previous turned down link exchange requests may have been because of my
long URL.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks...

I think that you should check out namezero.com. I have used them for a
while with their pay service. For $30 you get a domain redirect with no
ads. I think that might work for you.
