How big is the internet? Any clue? How many websites are there on the net? Now the number is more than 194,000,000. When Bill Gates was inaugurated as the President of Microsoft there were only 200 domain hosts in use. Just Imagine.
The first registered domain name was Symbolics. On March 1985 the name was registered.
Xerox and HP were 7th and 9th respectively to register. IBM, Sun, Intel, ATT joined later.
Now Internet is everywhere, Internet has bigger responsibility now. It has to reach its full prospective as a medium to the grassroots of the world. It has to act as a facilitator for international economic growth and development in an environment free from al control and all red eyes.
First 5 domain registered are:
SYMBOLICS.COM
BBN.COM
THINK.COM
MCC.COM
DEC.COM
First 100 list
