The First 100 Dot Coms Ever Registered

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the bet-mine-isn't-in-there dept.

roman1 submitted an interesting list containing the first 100 .com domains registered. Many of the names you haven't heard of, many you have. What was interesting to me is that it took 2 years just to get 100 domains on-line.

    This 'first 100 .com' stuff is all nice and dandy, but what I want to see is the LAST one hundred .com domains.

    I believe that website was made in 1985, and hasn't been updated since.
