World's oldest domain name sold

symbolics logoRegistered on March 15, 1985, Symbolics.com is the first domain name ever registered. Less than a year away from its 25th anniversary, the original owner decided to sell it to XF Investments, a domain investment company.

Aron Meystedt, CEO of XF, said:

We are extremely excited to own the Symbolics.com domain name. Since our core business is Internet investments, we really pursued the purchase of the original domain name, Symbolics.com. For us to own the first domain is very special to our company, and we feel blessed for having the ability to obtain this unique property.

The sale price was not disclosed. XF intends to make use of the name next year to celebrate the 25 years of domain registrations that have occurred since Symbolics.com was first registered in 1985.

The original Symbolics designed and sold Lisp machines for programmers. These computers were some of the very first workstations ever sold. While the Internet is often viewed as something new and unknown, it’s easy to forget how old it really is.
