You do not need to specify the name of your website as part of the route, try with this code:

routes.MapPageRoute("", "{combinedPin}", "~/Default.aspx");

With the above code, your link would look like:

http://localhost:12345/WebsiteName/test36u

If however your intention is that your users access your site using a segment named: WebsiteName then use:

routes.MapPageRoute("", "WebsiteName/{combinedPin}", "~/Default.aspx");

But in the precedent code your users will have to access your resource as follows: (probably not the expected result though)

http://localhost:12345/WebsiteName/WebsiteName/test36u
