A co-worker got a call from these guys today. Who did you contact in 1988 to even register? The US Commerce department? These guys are in VA and seem to scream Feds...

Update: These guys are serious players

I've already found two that are older, uga.edu was registered 14-Mar-1988 and mit.edu was registered 23-May-1985. I bet a lot of the big .edus are some of the oldest domains.

CMU.EDU: 24-Apr-1985
UIUC.EDU: 18-Jul-1985

UCSD.EDU was registered 09-Dec-1985, which is interesting considering it was one of the two root nodes of the ARPANET
(in 1969).

Thats an interesting question. I didn't get to a point where I had a need for a domain name until after Network Solutions started in the early 90's (from an NSF grant, the domains where free until 1995).

I did some digging and found some interesting data but there seems to be little information from that time period. It might have been the University of Southern California.

Well, it was called DARPANET.
