The real PuTTY web site, run by the PuTTY team, has always been at
\W{https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/}\cw{https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/}.
\S{faq-the}{Question} Why do the download links point to
\cw{the.earth.li} and not chiark? Has your website been hacked?
We haven't been hacked: links to \cw{the.earth.li} are legit. The
files for released versions of PuTTY are hosted on a different server
from the web pages, for bandwidth reasons.
The download site \cw{the.earth.li} is hosted by
\W{https://www.mythic-beasts.com/}{Mythic Beasts}, and we're very
grateful to them!
\S{faq-domain}{Question} Would you like me to register you a nicer
domain name?
