Answer 1

Basically URL shortening is a functionality that can be added to any website. So definitely you can build a website with the URL shortening feature included and host it in the Azure App Services or in an Azure VM.

See the following sample, that can be deployed to Azure Subscription.

https://github.com/microsoft/AzUrlShortener

If you search the internet with the term URL shortening with ASP.Net Core, you may find tons of samples. If you prefer to use other technologies, change your search terms accordingly and you will find enough samples.

Hope this helps

Answer 2

there is no direct tutorial to create a website like tinyurlwebsite.com

but you can follow this article

https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/apps-on-azure-blog/serverless-url-shortener/ba-p/3754120#:~:text=Azure%20Cosmos%20DB%20for%20NoSQL,consumption%20tier%20will%20be%20suitable

and you can create your own version by using Azure services like Azure Functions, Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL database, and Azure API Management for APIs. Azure Functions can be triggered by events to generate short URLs, while Azure Cosmos DB stores the original URL, hash, and other required data. Azure API Management would be used for handling API requests.
