Hi Everyone !
I did some research because I wanted to know, What the 20 oldest .com domain names are doing…
After I saw the results, I decided to publish it in my blog.
All 20 domain names registered back in 1985 and 1986…
I use Compete.com, Alexa.com and BacklinkWatch.com to bring you current information.
My Blog is Narrow, I am sorry that the figures are so tight.
Enjoy !

I love these types of posts. Really cool to see how some of those organizations have changed/disappeared in the last 25 years.

Thank You colemason , I agree…

It seems weird that some of these names are still there today in this ever changing online world. Appreciate your sharing this for posterity sake.

Another interesting post Arbel.
The thing which struck me in this list was how slow things got started – after a whole year only 10 domains were registered!
Best.

Hi Paul !
I appreciate your good words…
I totally agree with you about that , but i guess in 1985 or 1986 , the awareness was almost zero for domain names.
Cheers,
Arbel

Wow, very insightful.
I first go online back in 1996 – seems like a lifetime ago.
Thanks for publishing the list.
