Abstract:
On March 15, 2024, the world’s first registered .com domain name, symbolics.com, celebrated its 40th birthday. The domain name was registered on March 15, 1985, marking the official start of the commercial Internet era.
On March 15, 2024, the history of the Internet ushered in an important commemoration - the world's first registered .com domain name symbolics.com celebrated its 40th birthday. The domain name was registered by the American company Symbolics Inc. on March 15, 1985, becoming the first .com suffix domain name in the history of the Internet, officially opening the era of commercial Internet.
Symbolics Inc. is a company focusing on hardware and software development. Although it went bankrupt many years later, symbolics.com, a domain name with computer historical significance, can still be accessed normally today, becoming an important witness to the development of the Internet. At present, the owner of the domain name is domain name investor Aron Meystedt, who acquired the domain name from Symbolics Inc. in 2009 and retained it as an important symbol of digital culture and the early history of the Internet.
Since the registration of symbolics.com, the .com domain name has quickly become the world's most popular top-level domain name (TLD), promoting the commercialization of the Internet. According to the latest statistics, as of now, the number of TLDs (top-level domain names) registered worldwide has reached nearly 350 million, among which .com domain names are dominant and have become an important part of corporate brand building and digital assets.
Over the past 40 years, the domain name industry has grown from its infancy to prosperity, witnessing the stories of countless companies and individuals expanding their business through the Internet. From the birth of symbolics.com to the online world built by hundreds of millions of domain names today, .com is not only the most symbolic suffix of the Internet, but also one of the irreplaceable resources in the digital economy era.
40 years ago, symbolics.com opened the door to the business world for the Internet; 40 years later, the domain name industry is still thriving and continues to empower global innovation. In the future, with the evolution of technologies such as Web3 and AI, domain names may carry richer value dimensions. Pay tribute to history and look forward to a new chapter - may the domain name industry continue to write the glory of the next decade!
Here, congratulations to symbolics.com on its 40th birthday, and also wish the domain name industry to flourish and prosper!
