The 100 first domain names

Let’s take a dip into the history of Internet for a moment. The first domain name was registered in 1985. The first DNS was indeed launched in 1984 and in the period ranging from 1985 to 1987, only 100 domain names were registered. That number is peanuts compared to nowadays’ figures. Yesterday for example, 477,423 new .com have been registered, the equivalent of 20,000 per hour or 331 per minute or about 5 per second.
Here’s an overview of the 100 first domain names with their respective registration date.
