Customizing HTML URLs

Describe your feature request
I want the ability for you to change the URL of a HTML/Server Repl manually.
What problem(s) would this feature solve?
One of my PHP Repls is called “DON’T CLICK THE RUN BUTTON v2.0”, thus the URL is:
https://dont-click-the-run-button-v20.element1010.repl.co/
I want the ability to change the URL, because “https://dont-click-the-run-button-v20.element1010.repl.co/” is hard to type in the browser.
Explain what you were trying to do when you came across the problem leading to this feature request
I was making a PHP Repl and noticed that the title was very long, but that led to a long URL. I want URLs to be able to be short while titles can be longer and specific.

You can just rename the Repl and then have a new repl with that name link to it in the HTML

What about a URL shortener, or like @JayAySeaOhBee14 said, just rename the repl to something short, which makes a new link for it that keeps working even after you rename it back to that big title? This would make changing the URL less important.

You could have an html-side redirect, or even better, have a server side redirect.
