Dowload from .ch domain?

Post by *Scribbious »

I'm a long time Total Commander fan. Just getting ready to install on a Windows 2016 server and noticed the download links were all totalcommander.ch. I had never noticed the .ch TLD in the past. My browser and my internal radar went up wondering if the website had been hacked.

Maybe it has always been that but I'd feel a lot better knowing for sure if it is safe/intended.

Thanks!

It's all OK. Christian Ghisler is from Switzerland and .ch is TLD for Switzerland.

This board is also on a .ch domain - nothing to be alarmed about - I could understand if it had been totalcommander.cn that had been the download link - that would have alarmed mee too.

Thanks =) For some reason I was thinking .ch was China.
Shows how observant I am that I didn't notice that this was .ch also.

China's TLD is .cn.

CH comes from Confoederatio Helvetica (latin for Swiss Confederation), which is actually the official name for Switzerland.
