Thanks for sharing, definately interesting info there. Suprised to sex.com is nowhere in that list!

 

[nicholas]

Good to know we shouldn't feel so bad for missing the bandwagon back in the 90's... as this shows, these domains have existed way back in '86 yet, which is quite the surprise, seeing as many domainers (including NamePros members) may not have even been born at the time yet.

 

[ChrisChris]

Makes you wish you knew about domains back then :hehe:

So many goodies would've been available :p

Nordu.net is the oldest; created on 01/01/1985

 

[yandig]

Some good insight shown by some of the Tech firms back then. IBM, Sun and Intel all registered their .coms back in '86.

 

[christian_1983]

i guess i am super ignorant but i thought the net became public in the early 90s. Lol wow, some of those names are almost as old as i am.

I wonder if any of those names were regged on speculation??

 

[namewaiter]

interesting that it took almost 3 years to reach 100 .coms regged.

Some good insight shown by some of the Tech firms back then. IBM, Sun and Intel all registered their .coms back in '86.

Actually before the advent of the WWW companies were already using services like E-mail & FTP

 

[GreenGambler]

Wow.. neat list. I'm surprised to see that StarGate.com was one the original 100 names.. Crazy.! I wish I had a computer and knew how to register domain names when I was 5 years old.

 

[dotit]

yes, me too, i also wish i had a computer and knew how to register domain names when I was in Mother's belly.

 

[Giode]

What would be your guess as to the value of one these names. Just based off of the "historic" value only, and not the name or length, which of course would make it even more valuable. Just curious the minimum these domain owners could expect to get if they decided to sell?

 

[zachary0611]

I remember when my friend got on the internet with a rotary phone back when I was 12 and im 30 now.

 

[deleted984054565403]

:hehe: Think.com is now owned by Oracle for educational uses. A few years ago, they gave me a bunch of sticky note pads and t-shirts for being a supportive student and helping kids with tech support.

 

[SiGuy]

Also amongst the generics & others on this list it can be seen that 2, 3 and 4 character domain names could be popular choices for future registration. There is even a hyphen in there.
