The first domain name ever registered was “symbolics.com”, which was registered on March 15, 1985. This registration marks the beginning of the domain name system (DNS) as we know it today.
Symbolics, Inc., a company that developed and sold workstations, became the first company to secure a domain name for online presence.
This domain name remained active until 2009, though the company itself had long since ceased operations in the late 1980s. The significance of symbolics.com lies in its historical role in the establishment of the domain name system, which has since grown into a global web infrastructure with millions of domain names in use today.
