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.

@simontatham Ok but wtf is going on at https://putty.org XD
Mike Yeadon: Final Warning

@30p87 the domain-squatter there decided he just wasn't being annoying enough, and raised his game.

@simontatham @30p87

At least this will likely obliterate his pageranking and overall reach.

What an asshole

@Purple @30p87 someone mailed me a day or two ago to say that the chiark PuTTY site had now got ahead of putty.org on the Google rankings. What changed? Only that he pivoted to antivax. He's already working on obliterating his own pagerank!
@simontatham @Purple @30p87 sadly at least for me .org is still ranked higher when searching for "PuTTY"
