    I registered my first domain back in 1995 when there wasn't even a charge for doing it.

              Just googled "history of the internet" and came across this paragraph:

              It was only in 1991 that what we now call the World-Wide Web was introduced, developed by » Mr. Tim Berners-Lee, with assistance from Robert Caillau (while both were working at » CERN. Tim's now a member of the » W3C). Tim saw the need for a standard linked information system accessible across the range of different computers in use. It had to be simple so that it could work on both dumb terminals and high-end graphical X-Window platforms. He got some pages up and was able to access them with his 'browser'.

              Sounds about right.

              Usenet, arpanet etc seem to go back into the 70s, 60s, etc

                              Not sure what it was like before Sept. 1995

                              Thats when I registered one of my first mainsream domains.
                              Still have it......

                              It was FREE to register domains in 1995.
                              The only show in town was Network Solutions.

                              .org and .edu had rules that needed to be adhered to.

                              I remember working with a small college that was having a hell of a time getting an .edu domain because Network Solutions thought they were a bit too small to be honored with an actual .edu domain.

                              Those were the days....
                              LOL

                                      I'm wondering how much it could cost for a domain name at this time
