Who would have thought<\/strong>, back in the 80’s, that an online network of interconnected computers would be used one day to relay information, almost unrestricted around the globe?<\/p>\n

Surely, the oldest domain registered, Symbolics.com<\/strong><\/a>, is a landmark in the history of “manual” domain registrations and that of the commercial Internet. Despite its 25 year old existence as a domain, Symbolics.com was not used as a web site until well after the introduction of the world wide web in the early 90’s.<\/p>\n

Still, those that knew back in the day that they had the opportunity to register domains, went after some short ones<\/strong>. Without exception, all of these LL.com domains registered during the early ‘gold rush’ were for corporations: Hewlett Packard, Texas Instruments, General Electric etc.<\/p>\n

Here’s a list of the LL.com domains registered in the 1980’s – the pioneers<\/strong>, if you must, of short domain registrations.<\/p>\n\n<\/col>\n<\/col>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

It’s interesting to note that the 3rd oldest LL.com, ub.com, was sold recently to Ultimate Bet<\/strong> and it’s being used as a shortcut forward to their primary web site.<\/p>\n

Would you have thought LL.com’s were still available to register in the 2000’s? That can’t be possible!<\/p>\n

Well, you’d be partially correct; they were not available to register but they became available after a handful of LL.com domains dropped<\/strong>, as late as in 2003!<\/p>\n\n<\/col>\n<\/col>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
