Celebration Time! Everyone is busy with the internet but nobody thought about the launching date of the .com domain which has been the trade mark of the money making internet market. The first domain which includes .com in its name was registered in March 1985.

Can you imagine the life without Internet or before .com? Yeah you are absolutely rite; life without internet will be very tough and slow!

In the beginning .com domain was originally run by the US department of Defense and with the passage of time it grows but very slowly. Only 5 domains were registered in the year of 1985 which is unbelievable with the current situation where we can see thousands of domains being registered daily and now people love to use this slogan with their company taglines “We’re the Dot in Dot Com”.
