While they may well have a way for you to submit archives, I think the greater question to ask is "why?" URL shorteners are bad enough on their own, but arguably a necessary evil -- encouraging everyone to set up their own is in no way a good thing. I can't think of a worse service for an average user (or anyone without a datacenter, or better yet multiple datacenters) to run. By all means run your own email server -- if it craps out, at least you'll just lose your email. But if you run a URL shortening service and send out or post a lot of URLs using it, and then you go bankrupt, die, or just get bored and decide to stop running it ... now everyone who happens to have one of the links is S.O.L. It strikes me as the kind of service that's relatively easy to run, but unless someone is prepared to run it forever, they probably shouldn't.
