I agree, there's some good alternatives available too of about the same length (if you include name + TLD):

    puttyclient.com
    puttyofficial.com
    puttytools.com
    puttydownloads.com
    downloadputty.org

Those actually feel spammy too; e.g. seeing "official" or "download" in a name has always triggered a suspicion, because normally there's no need to specially say your site is "official" or "download" besides to mislead.

Then again, I may be biased due to always remembering PuTTY's official page being someone's personal site hosted on a .org.uk server.

There is actually a mirror at https://www.puttyssh.org/

I also noticed https://getputty.org is as well.

anything with "download" in the domain name looks scammy to me

>puttydownloads.com

This sounds like a virus site.

All of these are better than and I assume cheaper than that .software one.

Even puttytelnet.com/org/net is available.

Hell the puttytel.net is available
