Maybe we could have a small competition as to who can find the
earliest registered domain name. I will enter astute.com;
Domain Name: ASTUTE.COM

Who remembers the times when could register .com ,.net and .org
without paying ?.

what about UK extensions?

Yep thats cool, would be good to see what earlier registrants were
doing. Its going to be a bit of history.. The Internet was a great equaller
in many ways and so many business opportunities for people that
wouldnt otherwise have managed to go into a business conventionally.
Friend of mine I worked with as a van driver started an internet busines
in 1998 and sold out in 2004 for �10M ,lucky sod.

Domain Name: SUN.COM
Record expires on 20-Mar-2010
Record created on 19-Mar-1986

Beat that then!

Domain Name: IBM.COM
Record expires on 20-Mar-2006
Record created on 19-Mar-1986

Very odd... both SUN & IBM registered on the same day, are they related in some way?

symbolics.com 15 March 1985
think.com 24-May 1985

I think those are the two earliest .com's.

Blimey, 1985. It really is mindblowing when you see
how quickly the internet has evolved. I did not even know about
the net till 1996 .
