Andrew Moulden, who provides the Top 100 list, in his blog remarks:

“Let’s go back exactly 17 years – to November 30th 1987. You want to register a domain name. To date, only 99 .com domains have ever been registered. Yours will be the 100th. So, what do you get?

Music.com? It’s available! Games.com? Available! Loans.com? Drugs.com? Cars.com? All unregistered! Take your pick.”

Which name would you have registered in 1987?
