Although this list of the 100 oldest domains in the world has nothing to do with our irregular VoIP blog we thought it was so interesting that we would publish this with a few modifications after we stumbled upon the original list on spdcc.com (the 61th oldest domain).
It is amazing that many domains (to be exact 16) are parked domains and/or inactive. Are the owners not aware of the value of these domains?
