Oldest Domain Names

Here’s a list of the first .com domain names in history (of course, the internet precedes the world wide web, which is why these domains are all from the 80s):

Andrew Moulden, who provided the list, in his blog remarks:

“Lets go back exactly 17 years – to November 30th 1987. You want to register a domain name. To date, only 99 .com domains have ever been registered. Yours will be the 100th. So, what do you get?



Music.com? Its available! Games.com? Available! Loans.com? Drugs.com? Cars.com? All unregistered! Take your pick.”

Which name would you have registered in 1987?
