Apple.com domain name will celebrate its 25th Anniversary this month
On February 19th, the domain name Apple.com will celebrate its 25th Anniversary.
The domain was created on February 19th, 1987, nearly two years after the first and oldest .com domain name on the internet “Symbolics.com” was registered, and just over ten years after Apple Inc. was founded.
Today, Apple.com is one of the most visited sites on the internet, ranking in the top 50 sites of the world, according to Alexa.
Apple hasn’t announced anything about the upcoming anniversary, so it’s not certain whether the company will be holding any kind of celebration.
Other domain names like Unisys.com, which was registered on December 11, 1986, have recently celebrated their 25th birthday without much fanfare.
Apple.com ranks at #64 in the Top 100 oldest registered .com domains.
Other domains owned by well-known companies that will celebrate their 25th anniversary this year include: cisco.com, dupont.com, and lockheed.com.
A full list of the top 100 oldest domain names can be seen on iWhois.
