nordu is the frist domain ever CREATED (for root server purpose i guess) symbolics is the first domain ever REGISTERED (for public i guess) CMIIW
symbolics was the first registered by an outside company for thier own use and not for the actual use of the network. Also note that it's a *.net tld.
Does anyone know what tld's were available from the start? .com and .net for sure. Was .org available?
I'm more intruiged about how many of those domains are exactly mainstream words etc, they just seem to be company names or just random letters. WHen did the goldrush on registering common words for domains begin?
Interesting post. Always fun to look back at the history of the internet. stagecoach.com first reged in 1885
This is an interesting thread. I would have never thought of such a thing. Some of these domains must be worth a few millions.
