[diddie]

Domains are so old !?!

 

[Redleg]

I've found another domain that's even older than Nordu.net 1. jan. 1985
(see my other post above).

Enea.se

During the early days of the European Internet-like connections, ENEA employee Björn Eriksen connected Sweden to EUNET using UUCP and registered enea as the first Swedish domain in april 1983. The domain was later converted to the internet domain enea.se when the network was switched over to TCP and the Swedish top domain .se was created in 1986.

[Shorty]

Surprise surprise, IBM is on the list...:P

 

[barefoottech]

the Two names I like in the list

BELL-ATL.com
DATA-IO.com
Didn't they know in those days that "hyphens are not used"
:hehe:

 

[norbx]

If I remember well the first DNS servers were set up around 1984 or so...
