A.9.5 Would you like me to register you a nicer domain name?

No, thank you. We've got one: putty.software.

For a long time, this FAQ entry said that we were happy with the site where it is. However, in 2025, as a result of some media attention to putty.org, it became clear that search engines these days seem to prefer short whole domain names over user subdirectories on a larger server.

So we registered a domain name ourselves. As of August 2025, putty.software is a small landing page, similar to third-party redirectors except not run by a third party. After we've got the word out and built some trust, the plan is to move the whole PuTTY site there and turn the old chiark site into a redirection.
