How old is your oldest domain? - GoFuckYourself.com

lagcam · 03-12-2010, 01:43 PM

I keep seeing "aged" domains for sale and it made me wonder who has the oldest (never dropped) domain and what is it?

I have quite a few 6+ year olds but nothing older......and I remember a guy selling an 18 year old one (can't remember what it was though) but how old is your oldest?

MikeSmoke · 03-12-2010, 01:44 PM

1996.Wish I had more of them.

Shoplifter · 03-12-2010, 01:45 PM

My first is 1994. It's not an adult domain, but I've often wondered if it could be used as such if the SEO bonus was good enough.

Waddymelon · 03-12-2010, 01:47 PM

I have several from 1997.

LiveDose · 03-12-2010, 01:47 PM

A bunch from 1997.

CYF · 03-12-2010, 01:54 PM

I have one from 1998. I had a couple from earlier than that but no longer own them.

lagcam · 03-12-2010, 01:55 PM

Here are a few I wish I owned

ibm touching 25 years old
apple.com is now 23 years old,
microsoft.com just under 20 years,
yahoo.com 15 years old
sex.com 14 years old
playboy.com 16 years old

DaddyHalbucks · 03-12-2010, 01:59 PM

I have a few from the late 90s.

czarina · 03-12-2010, 01:59 PM

from 1999, my first year in the industry

lagcam · 03-12-2010, 02:00 PM

wtf.......

http://www.whoisd.com/oldestcom.php

So 25 years ago, some smart guy thinks "hmmmmm this internet thing may take off, I am going to register me a domain name......"

Pretty much everything is available, and he chooses SYMBOLICS.COM

Doh!

Martin · 03-12-2010, 02:05 PM

2000 is when I got my first domain.

sexdatesj · 03-12-2010, 02:06 PM

1997 - when I first started to promte sites and make .18 per click

Klen · 03-12-2010, 02:07 PM

BlackCrayon · 03-12-2010, 06:04 PM

KrissyElise · 03-12-2010, 06:20 PM

Doh!

The internet was a little different back then. Symbolics was the name of that guy's computer company, and the internet was made up pretty much only of government, universities, computer companies and government contractors.

.com was for companies, .net was for networking and .org was a catch-all for other organizations, and they stuck to that.

Dennis69 · 03-12-2010, 07:10 PM

I have a few from 98!!!

fris · 03-12-2010, 07:18 PM

think 1997

Furious_Male · 03-12-2010, 08:30 PM

I have a couple from 98 and 99.

MindWaste · 03-12-2010, 08:33 PM

But he had the last laugh because just on the basis of it being the oldest .com, he recently sold it for what's speculated to be 6-figures. I know the guy who bought it and while the figure is non-disclosure, knowing him he paid a pretty penny for it considering there is only one OLDEST domain and he has it...cool for collector's sake.

I have a 1990 domain, 20 years old now as it was regged in Feb 1990, SynNet.com. It's for sale for mid $x,xxx if anyone wants it.

Yngwie · 03-12-2010, 09:42 PM

I had 1 that I registered in 1999, but sold it last year. Prior to 1999 I have 3 others registered in 1997/1998, but dropped those in like 1999 or 2000. At this point my oldest ones are maybe 4 or 5 years old.

born2blog · 03-12-2010, 09:46 PM

I had one that was 9 years old but sold it a few months ago

Doh!

You are missing a big part of the story here with this domain, the guy that owns it now isn't the original owner, and as someone already said, the internet and it's purpose was a whole lot different back then when it became the first "official" domain registered.

Anyone care to take a guess on who hosts the "oldest" registered domain?

Domain Name: SYMBOLICS.COM
Name Server: NS1.AMERINOC.COM
Name Server: NS2.AMERINOC.COM

As to registered domains, the oldest I personally have left is from '98.

Farang · 03-12-2010, 10:04 PM

6 y.o. - registered when I was only 18.

BIGTYMER · 03-12-2010, 11:05 PM

Lets party like its 1999!

Jakke PNG · 03-12-2010, 11:20 PM

1998 one.

kacy · 03-12-2010, 11:41 PM

martinsc · 03-12-2010, 11:43 PM

HandballJim · 03-12-2010, 11:58 PM

I think my oldest is from 2001

bdld · 03-13-2010, 03:53 AM

Raf1 · 03-13-2010, 04:13 AM
