The domain.COM

In 1985 there were defined those who would be the first domains of Internet, between which it was the one that presently is the most popular: the domain.com. Destined for a use exclusively commercial (commercial, in English) soon they turned into the most demanded domains and any type of restriction was eliminated at the time of being registered.

Not only it is the most demanded domain, but it overcomes fully to the rest of extensions. Next we can observe a comparative graph between the different domains most registered between the year 2005 and 2007:

Anecdotes of the domain.com

Curiously, there were necessary 2 years (from 1985 until 1987) so that the dominio.com was reaching 100 records. But since then many things have changed, in the summer 2006 a series of anecdotes published a prestigious North American newspaper on this domain:

• All the domains of 2 ó 3 characters, including numbers and letters are already registered.
• All the words that can be written in English language with 4 characters are not available.
• 1000 words most used in the Anglo-Saxon language have been selected.
• The 1000 most common surnames of the United States are registered.
• A domain can contain up to 63 characters, the English alphabet has 26 letters, since each and everyone of them have a domain.com repeating the letter 63 times.

But the juiciest anecdotes are those of money of for way, next the list updated to September, 2007 of the domains.com auctioned:

• 1. Sex.com - $ 14 millions (January, 2006)
