Thanks interesting info but what are we supposed to discuss (this is a thread after all) :P

but what are we supposed to discuss
... like why once in a while people would post a thread like this:

sex.com didn't make the list?

sex.com is being sold for 14million USD tho! :)

x.com

though this was register later than the above 100 it beats all of them :D

Couple of more interesting ones:

2.am
n.nu

Typically Microsoft didn't get in there early.

Google isn't even on their :O

Not surprising since they weren't founded till the mid/late 90s while MS have been around since the mid 70s.

i wonder what was the prices back on 80's,
if you check the gap of each register, it must be pretty strict for someone to buy a domain, compare with now, i believe every single second comes up new domain

i wonder what was the prices back on 80's
It was actually FREE to register a domain before 1995. Surprise!

Interesting find, thanks! I've always wondered.

No, you don't need to (believe it); but more importantly, you don't need to tell the whole world about your not knowing this simple slice of history.

:D :D Ok thanks
