If you could have, which would you have registered first off that list?

 

[newdomainer.mobi]

Surely it didn't take over 2 years to register the 1st 100 dotcoms?

I'm amazed.. (even taking into account the different world we all lived in back then).
Makes .mobi look like a roaring success..... (sorry, couldn't resist

 

[Rubber Duck]

You couldn't just register. You had to be invited! :D

I know which I wouldn't register off that list -> SCO.com
based on principal... :p
the most hated Utah based company in FOSS community

 

[dgridley]

I would've liked to have had the idea to reg Apple.com back then.. (oops! TM issues!).

 

[Hurley4540]

SYMBOLICS.COM...is not the domain i would think would be first regged...

And you gotta understand back 20 yrs ago, the internet was rarely known, everyone was on who knows OS and on dial up or slower :s

 

[GlobalDomainer]

If you could have, which would you have registered first off that list?

The LL.coms I guess. I most certainly would have regged p*rn.com, s*x.com and poker.com on 1-dec-1987 if I could turn back time!

I would take SUN and develop it as an information site about our nearest star.
:bingo:

 

[.tv]

I would register all LL.com, would start a lucrative sub domain business just like CentralNIC. :lol:

Thinking of tv.com and endless possibilities of subdomains under tv.com.... :gl:

I doubt in 1985 you would want to register all LL.com. You would think that who in the world would want AA.com or something.

Back in 1994, The World (as in world.std.com, the world's first dialup ISP) announced that they would accept domain registrations from their customers.

At last! Now I could get that killer domain name that I wanted.

DataBank.com! Rats! It's already been taken.

Nexus.net! Now I'll be the center of the network!

Drat! Someone got that too!

Darn. I'll have to go with my third choice. A pretty boring name, but it's all I can think of right now- Server.com.

True story.

that is still a great name... :gn:

 

[vaunter]

Do you have the list of the .com names from 101 to, lets say... 1,000,000?

:blink:

Or where can I get it?
