There is a new short domain name for #PuTTY!

https://putty.software/

At present, this is just a "landing page": a nice short name to remember, which will redirect you to the full PuTTY website at the same longer URL where it's always been.

But unlike putty.org or other third-party landing pages, this one is run by us, the actual PuTTY team, and it doesn't have a weird separate agenda of its own.

I intend to move the main PuTTY site over to that domain in the future, and leave just a redirector at the old location. But first I want to get the word out, so that people know which site to trust.

If anyone is still linking to putty.org, here's a place to link to instead. Please spread the word!

PuTTY

Free software SSH client for Windows and also Unix, including an xterm-style terminal emulator.

I've mostly eliminated (directly using) Windows from my computing life. But if you find yourself there, PuTTY is one of the best pieces of software for the platform.
@snarfmason Even on Debian with OpenSSH installed, adding putty has its uses - it can connect to older ssh servers that still use dsa host keys, for example. OpenSSH disabled the algorithm.
@wonka oh neat! I didn't even know putty was available on Debian.
