Welcome Laborama. We need to know in what situation you want to use these phrases to be able to give you the best answer. Are you saying this or is it a written heading?
Well, it's certainly not a sentence (no verb, incomplete message...). I cannot think of a context where it would fit. But then, on this website it's your responsibility to give us a context.
It's not an error, but it's awkward, suggesting he may not be not very capable in English.
"Welcome by John" suggests it's the name of a commercial business that provides welcoming services for new residents, etc. by providing local discount coupons, balloons, etc.
Is that what you mean??

If you were welcoming visitors, you wouldn't say "laborama welcomes you" or "welcome by laborama". You would say "I welcome you" or just "Welcome."
To have John speak to his visitors as if he were not John seems odd and unfriendly.
I'm realizing a "url shortener" and I regestered in addition to wlc.to, which is the preferential domain, also wlc.by. As far as I understand, the second does not sound like a friendly Url, so it would be useless to add it to the brand. Hoping that wlc is an understandable substitute for "welcome".
In context, perhaps. For example: Wlc to our city.
But not usually.
The context is characterized by names like ow.ly, bit.ly, is.gd, u.to, cutt.us, yourls.org, scrnch.me etc.
Wlc.to would be prevalently addressed to places. But it is true, I had already found that it was not very usual.
Sorry, I haven't followed that at all.
Not very usual? I've never come across it before.
I also have no idea what you mean by:
Perhaps you should explain a little more.
You hope in vain! If I saw that I’d assume it was an acronym: **Company, perhaps.
If I saw that, I would again guess it was an acronym: maybe Would you Like to Come to our city?
To get back to the original question: The welcome note should just say "Welcome." If it's not obvious that the welcome is from John, he should sign it.
You can find it here.
What does WLC stand for?
A 5-star rating from users must mean something. If you frequent Internet chat groups you may be familiar with it, but a lot of people will have no idea. I certainly didn't.

I note that wlc.to can hardly be understood http://wlc.to/italy will not seem a shortened version of "Welcome to Italy" and will not give the idea of a link dedicated to Italy.

To most people, all except those who are very familiar with chat group abbreviations, this url would not convey any sense of 'welcome to'.I note that wlc.to can hardly be understood
