Speaking of popular software that doesn't have its own website, the PuTTY developers have never bothered with getting a domain name specifically for PuTTY (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/). I'm not actually entirely sure what the rest of the site/domain is meant to be for either.

Pretty sure PuTTY is a one man job and the page is just a personal one hosted on chiark.greenend.org.uk, which seems to be just a server run by his mate

FWIW: PuTTY does have a webpage (http://www.putty.org/), but it just redirects the download link to the site you mentioned

putty.org is not affiliated with the PuTTY project. The domain is registered by one of the founders of bitvise, which explains the advertising for their products on the site.
