Sometimes it’s fantastic to just watch some statistics or even just a bullet list 😉 . This time I have a list of the oldest domain names ever. Did you know that it took 2 years to get 100 registered domain names back in 1985-7? This list is the oldest .com domain names still active, so there may have been other domain names registered back in 1985-7 that the owners have dropped (not renewed).

Surprisingly! It’s like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with some pics to drive the message home a bit, but other than that, this is great blog. A great read. I will definitely revisit again.
