## New Arweave URLs
A gripe that I have had for a while has just had a huge step forward! I am talking about how our URL's look of course because no one is going to remember this:
[https://arweave.net/dxziPohQ_LvhOnLCcElpeKy9OnaokkVVYCMSirTLBb8](https://arweave.net/dxziPohQ_LvhOnLCcElpeKy9OnaokkVVYCMSirTLBb8)
But they will remember this:
[https://socialgraph.garygary.uk](https://socialgraph.garygary.uk)
A couple of the many reasons the second URL is better is that you can remember it, and you can see the meaning in it.
We name and label things so we know how to find them and so others know what they mean. Both URL's lead to the same page but but the second one you can type, you can share, you can understand.
This URL is the product of the amazing work done by @arweave-aidan#1495 (Discord tag as I am not sure if he is on FEEDweave). He has created a proxy service to be run alongside a gateway that enables people to access the permaweb through regular URLs.
You can find the code for the proxy [here](https://github.com/aidanok/arweave-dns-gateway)
## How to bind an Arweave transaction to your own domain or sub-domain
1. Add a TXT record to your domain's DNS from the host arweavetx.[Desired URL here] and the value of the TXT record as the Arweave transaction ID you want to bind to your URL. In my case on GoDaddy it was as below:
1. Add a CNAME record that goes from the URL you want to the proxy you wish to use, in my case that is api.blockbin.xyz (Aidan's own proxy which I am going to use until my internet is turned on in my new flat). On GoDaddy it looks like this:
1. Make an API request to the proxy to tell it you want to add your domain like so (Make sure to replace my URL with you own!):curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: text/plain" --data "socialgraph.garygary.uk" https://api.blockbin.xyz/v0/add_domain
