Dot-com marks 25th anniversary

It is hard to remember the days before the doc-com revolution. Twenty-Five years ago on march 15, 1985 - the first doc-com domain name, Symbolics.com, appeared on the internet, ushering in the commercial age of the World Wide Web, the CNN reported.
Having a domain name made it simpler for the average person to access a website. Development was slow, at first, as it took more than two years for the first 100 websites and domain names to go online; by 1995 the number had grown to 18,000 websites. Today, the internet and World Wide Web has grown to more than 80 million doc-com domain names, according to the information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF).
