The 100 Oldest Dot-Com Domain Names
Have you seen this list of the 100 Oldest Currently Registered Dot-Com Domain Names? It's a fascinating list of internet history. The first domain on the list is SYMBOLICS.COM and it was registered on March 15, 1985.There are a couple interesting things to point out here:
- From what I can tell about 80 of the domains are gigantic companies. The likes of Intel, Xerox, Apple and Convergent are all on the list.
- There are no "market-oriented" domains on the list. For instance, you don't see names like LOAN.COM or PETS.COM. I found that very surprising.
