The first domain name, symbolics.com, was registered on March 15, 1985. This was the first registration in the Internet's original domain name system, which was managed by the Symbolics Computer Corporation.
The Internet's original domain name system was created to provide a simple and easy-to-use system for organizing and accessing websites. The first domain names were all registered under the top-level domain (TLD) .com, which was intended for commercial organizations.
Over time, new TLDs were added to the system, such as .org for non-profit organizations, .edu for educational institutions, and .gov for government agencies. Today, there are hundreds of different TLDs available, including country-code TLDs (ccTLDs) such as .uk for the United Kingdom and .cn for China.
It's also worth noting that the first domain registration was made by Symbolics Computer Corporation, but the concept of domain names was created by the internet pioneers Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn in the 1970s and documented in a research paper in 1974 called "A Protocol for Packet Network Intercommunication."
