THE LONGEST, THE SHORTEST …..EVER !

According to ICANN a domain name / label can have from 1 to 63 characters, so the shortest domain name you can have is 1 character and the longest domain name is 63 characters long.

THE SHORTEST … EVER

Shortest Domain Names

www.g.cn (Google China),
Shortest Email IDs

Now we know that the ccTLD domain names, afew of them listed above, are the shortest domains. So any single digit or letter email id in any of those domains would be the shortest. For example, x@1.fm or y@k.st would be one of the shortest email ids.
THE LONGEST EVER

Longest Domain Names

Since the maximum length of a domain label is defined as 63 characters, there also will be many websites with the longest domain names. If you want, you can as well create one! I think that the subdomains or top level domain suffixes should be counted for the largest domain name.
Here is the list of a few longest domains.

THE FIRST .. EVER !

FIRST WEB SITE EVER CREATED


The first web site was built by Tim Berners-Lee and was first put online on August 6, 1991 (it’s no longer running).
It provided an explanation about what the internet was, how to get your own browser, how to set up your own web server and so on.

FIRST WEB SERVER EVER USED


The historic NeXT computer used by Tim Berners-Lee in 1990, on display in the Microcosm exhibition at CERN. It was the first web server, hypermedia browser and web editor.

FIRST EMAIL EVER SEND


The first email was sent in 1971 between two PDP-10 computers in Cambridge (USA) by an engineer Ray Tomlinson, a partner in the development of the first major computer network Arpanet, the precursor of today’s Internet.

The first email was addressed by Tomlinson to himself .The text of that first electronic missive consisted of « something like QWERTYUIOP »and was supposed to have contained the message Testing 1-2-3 . He was also the first person to use the @ symbol in the email address. Soon, Tomlinson’s ideas were generalised and incorporated in the electronic mail software on Arpanet by the end of 1972.

FIRST BANNER AD EVER


When HotWired decided to make money from their website in 1994, they set in motion events that would come back to haunt us all: The creation of banner ads.
AT&T was the first to dish over some money to HotWired to display the beast they created, a 468 x 60 banner that came to life on October 25 1994.
The world’s first banner was quite the ugly thing as seen below and clicking it will lead you nowhere, but just in case you really have the urge to click the world’s first banner ad we’ve linked it to a link worthy of your intelligence.
