IIRC, I was attending a local trade show in the Detroit area with a couple of co-workers (I was working under contract at TACOM so it was probably John O’Connell, Darren Lisow, and Gary Kolk) and a local ISP had a small booth set up, and we all registered domains on the spot (that was kind of an exotic thing to do as an individual at that point.) Crazy to think I’ve had the same domain registered for 24 years.

A partial screenshot from whois.com showing my (freshly renewed) domain, freeke.org, with the initial registration date, 2000-09-09, highlighted.

I need to set up nameservers for this one again.

@resuna @ffg That reminded me that I needed to renew my oldest (from 1996) and a couple of others. Expensive business!

@resuna Wow, that was well before the days of independent registrars... what did it cost? Had to be at least $50 per domain back then.

@ffg I didn't have to pay anything initially, and all I had was an MX pointing to UUNET or was it still seismo, I don't remember, anyway... some arpa / UUCP Gateway. It may have only existed at the start in the uucp maps.

Verislime had not taken over DNS yet.
