Why is it long and ugly? If the domain is too long then get a shorter one and redirect the longer one to the shorter one.

Hi,
It’s not a big problem I know site called www.dwarfurl.com that provides to make long url in to a small url. It's absolutely free to use, and your newly created link will never expire. Hope this will help you. All the best!

What's your site url?
it would be easier to tell anything definite if you could provide your site url.

of course it is better to buy a domain more friendly, perhaps with a nice keyword also it doenst hurt, then make a 301 permanent redirect to your new domain, like this you dont lose anything and have evrything to gain.

There are many site where you can get shorter URL's from.
You can get a FREE webhop at dyndns.com
Or just by one for $9.99 per/year at godaddy.com

I feel like an advertisement, but those are just what I personally use.

One disadvantage to DynDns.com is that they delete your account if you dont log in once every 30 days, but there is a program you can download off the site that resets the ticker ever 25 days.
