    The world's first domain name

    What was the world's first .com?


    Just what would the site with the world's longest domain name be without mentioning what the world's first dot com was

    Now we are sure many of you think you know and some really do know, but those that think it was think.com better think again, think.com was the third...we think.

    The DNS was created in 1984 and in 1985 top level domains were defined. The first top level domains were COM, ORG, EDU, GOV, MIL and ccTLD.

    In April 1985 cmu.edu, purdue.edu, rice.edu and ucla.edu were the first registered domain names with the .edu extention.

    The first .gov was css.gov and was registered in June 1985.

    The first .org was mitre.org and was registered in July 1985.

    Now for the first .com which was registered on March 15 1985 and it was symbolics.com which still happens to be up and running, although not much to look at. Now for the first 100 registered domains:SYMBOLICS.COM
    BBN.COM

    It took more that two and half years register 100 domain names, and I believe that we are registering more than 100 domain names per day. Pretty awesome isn't it? What do you guys think?

    That's interesting. Didn't know that. Old sites with some still running - a bit nostalgic

    Re: The world's first domain name

    The very first internet address (which used a webserver) was info.cern.ch created by that brilliant researcher at CERN Tim Berners Lee

    A copy of the original pages are now found at: http://www.w3.org/History/19921103-h...heProject.html

    I wouldn't want to purchase that software they are advertising at $250 with the old look of the page. Theres not even a link to a newer page. Does the company still exsist ?

    http://dev.x10hosting.com (this has nothing to do with x10hosting)

    ->All us helpful people here at x10hosting would like to reach our next user groups, "Community Paragon". Please click the +rep icon on the left hand side of a post if that post was helpfull.
