interesting, dont think i would have guessed any of them. i was only 6 yrs old when most of they were registered anyways

some interesting domains on that list. I would be curious to see the list of the first 100 adult related domain names registered (even the first 20) and what's on those domains now.

Funny, because as I recall, you could not buy them until 1995 or 96.

If only I could turn back time

that is very interesting Jim

really interesting list, thank you :thumbsup

hehe, very interesting list! my oldest finds were ibm.com and sun.com! :)

I think you're right about 1995 or 1996 for purchasing but you could actually register domain names ten years earlier.

By the way I only guessed IBM, Xerox and Apple. :upsidedow

Registrations were free until sometime in the early 90s, then Network Solutions figured out they could make a fortune, and registrations were $50/year, 2 year minimum (with NSI having the monopoly) until about 1998, when NSI "generously" lowered the fee to $35/year. Competitive registrars appeared in 1999, and prices almost immediately started to plummet.

"Commercial" traffic wasn't permitted on the net until 1994.

Very interesting list. It would be cool to see the first 100 adult related domains registered.

I wish I was older and could predict future :1orglaugh
Thanks! Very interesting list!
