Have you considered a custom bit.ly URL? We didn't like the length of the cvent URL's but we wanted to continue for ease to host so we went to bit.ly and for a small fee paid for a custom URL. This enables us to take the event links and create something specific and we made them similar to our companies website. Through this method we also now get tracking and traffic results for our pages which has been nice.
i.e. our website is
www.tcs.comThrough bit.ly we created a custom URL on.tcs.com
So now we can convert the long cvent URL to something like on.tcs.com/BIGEVENT and it'll redirect to the cvent page. no hosting or anything required on our end.
For specific large conferences we did also set up our own URLs and just redirect on the domain side. So our
www.tcssummitna.com redirects to a page built in cvent.

Subject: Private Domain - Anyone hosting their sites on own website versus Cvent?
We have been using cvent custom URL but now due to changes with the addition in Flex it isn't going to work for us. We are now thinking about going down the route of using our own website to host our registration sites. Questions I have are:
- Does anyone currently do this?
- Any pros and cons to be made aware of before we do this?
- Is anyone willing to share some live events on their website so I can see how it looks and how long the page takes to load?
- Does it match your website? Ours doesn't need to, as long as we use our company colors but was just curious if people are creating it the same for a seamless user experience?
