As someone interested in DNS and Internet history, I've always been enjoying facts and articles about early registered domain names. Wikipedia has a page on the subject, but the list is extremely short for .net and .org domains.

Hmm so the nordu .net predated symbolics .com by a couple of months or so, and would be the first domain registered technically?

Nordu.net whois: Creation Date: 1985-01-01T05:00:00Z

Symbolics.com whois: Creation Date: 1985-03-15T05:00:00Z

** From symbolics.com: World's first and oldest registered .com

DataCube is also there in the first hundred dot coms. Would be interesting to know if @bmugford hand-regged it or acquired later.
