Hi ,

my mistake

What a coincidence I was looking up the information on the first registered domains this week, thanks for sharing with us guys.

Both www.nordu.net and www.symbolics.com is still up and running..

Anyone got a time machine so I can reg Business.com and Loans.com in 1985? Knowing my luck I would probably be that nervous knowing that they would sell for quite a few pennies I would probably reg Busines.com and Laons.com :bah:

Oh well, just asking anyway...

Yea, believe it or not they were actually free at that time. First come, first serve... *sigh*

Interesting info, thanks for sharing it. I just used my browser's (Firefox) scrapbook plugin to keep it at hand.

s*x.com , its enough for me . I will never sell that., just park it and retire

Here's another interesting list:
http://www.jottings.com/all-domain-names-registered-by-15-dec-1987.htm

As the url says, it's all domain names registered by 15 December 1987.
The list isn't complete, but it's interesting to see only "serious" names/acronyms there..
http://www.jottings.com/2004/12/13/more-1980s-domain-trivia/#comment-88

No Sex.com, Games.com, Casino.com or Business.com on that list..
Still had to wait 8 years before the first two were registered, 10(!) years until casino.com were registered, and Business.com was first registered 30-apr-1998(?)..

interesting list guys
