You can find a complete list of the first 100 domains here.

But the first 11 are:

  • 03/15/1985 - SYMBOLICS.COM
  • 04/24/1985 - BBN.COM
  • 05/24/1985 - THINK.COM
  • 07/11/1985 - MCC.COM
  • 09/30/1985 - DEC.COM
  • 11/07/1985 - NORTHROP.COM

I read that a domainer recently aquired Symbolics.com. What a great buy. Good thinking to get the very first domain name.

Held for review. Appears at the next catalog build. No account, no login, no email address.

How do I sell my domain name? · Where can I find statistics about the number of registered domains? · Suggest software tools for tracking my domain collection?
