Internet's First Domain Name Turns 28

How soon we forget our roots. The granddaddy of all domain names turned 28 years old on Friday. Back in 1985, Symbolics.com, a computer manufacturer, was registered as domain name #1. The Internet has now grown to give Symbolics a bit of company with over 250 Million websites and growing daily.

Symbolics (the company) built computer systems in Cambridge, Mass., making workstations that ran on a software language called Lisp. In fact, Symbolics was making computer workstations before the term "workstation" even existed.
