The First Domain Name Ever Registered Changes Hands For the First Time

Symbolics.com, the first domain name ever registered,  has changed hands for the first time since its original registration on March 15, 1985. 

Missouri-based XF.com Investments purchased the historic Internet address from the Symbolics company for an undisclosed price.  Symbolics sold the domain even though the company is still in operation nearly 25 years after they made history by registering the name. Since that initial domain registration a quarter of a century ago 180 million domains names have been registered!
Aron Meystedt, the 29-year-old CEO of XF.com Investments, 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.”
