A very interesting list, thanks

**Rachel** · #3 (**permalink**) 17-03-09, 06:35 AM

I am wondering how much it costed to register domains at that time. i.e in 1985

**James** · #4 (**permalink**) 17-03-09, 04:31 PM

That's a very nice list with some big names like Adobe, IBM, HP, Intel etc...Dell fail to make it in the top 100. Dell was registered in 1988.

I wasn’t even in kindergarten when these domains were registered.

A very good list indeed. The first domain name was registered in 1985 but the first website was launched on 6th August 1991. It was built by Tim Berners-Lee at Welcome to info.cern.ch.

It provided an explanation about internet, how it works, how to setup a server and how to get your own browser etc.

Tim Berners-Lee, ofcourse! We all know him for inventing the World Wide Web, don't we?

Yes, we do!

Ya, he is the man who created the first website. I think we all should thank him as we are using internet because of him
