I wonder how many domains are allowed to be registered to a single person…. or is there any restriction as such !?!

You’re correct, my bad there Erik. It’s been fixed, thank you.

Neat little tid bits. One thing though. You have listed in your top ten that symbolics.com was the first reg’d domain on the 15th of march 85, a month earlier than bbn.com. Just thought I’d throw that in there.

I wonder how many of the domains registered this year will still be around in twenty years. It is obvious that a lot of what we think the internet is now will be scraped and replaced by then. Maybe we will get it right after the third or fourth time. I am so sick of spammers and other jerks that maybe we should start the process now.

I guess I will have to wait for the next collapse first.

There’s a lot of evidence that most of these domains are registered for less than five days, before the registrant dumps them, requests a refund, then re-registers them.
