  • .com is old as dirt!

    .WS IS THE NEW WAVE! IN EVERY LANGUAGE

    Calm down Charlie, GDI is old as dirt aka (The biggest joke in the domain game)
  • good list , very surprised at the apple.com registration date though , you would think they would be in the top 5 for sure .
  • Wonderful compilation. Sites registered way back in 1985 are grand dads now :) I am fortunate enough to get a 3-character alphaneumeric domain name(kb9.org) which I am planning to develop soon.
  • note there is no Microsoft domain name in the list
  • Nice list. only one domain per month in the start :)
  • Wondering what the registration fee was back then
  • These seem to all in the .com TLD. I'd expect some even older domains were in .mil and .edu ...
  • Nick Booth

    Yeah – this is a very cool list. Datacube.com is my favourite too… mainly because I used to work for Datacube back in the 90s. Datacube Inc was a manufacturer of high-performance image processing hardware, based in Danvers, MA, USA. Unfortunately the performance of the PC kind of caught-up with them and they went under a few years back.

  • Nick, that is a sad but informative story. I grew up in Beverly, right next to Danvers, small world! Well, back in the early days of the web is was even smaller (the Boston area in particular). Thanks for sharing!

  • Letade efter Spotify invite och hittade denna sidan:

    Bara ett litet tips..

    Intressant hur mycket pengar Symbolics gör på att bara existera
  • It seems like many of the domains isn't owned by the original owner. They must have been transfered.
