Tech trends are talked about all the time in domaining, many invest in future tech and current hot keywords.
Many of the technology names getting a lot of buzz and discussion were registered a long time ago.
Here is a look at some of the best domains in tech and when they were registered.
Ai.com – registered back in 1993 and owned by Thunayan K Al-Ghanim and his Future Media Architects. Has been developed, just renewed and currently does not resolve.
ArtificialIntelligence.com registered in 1996, registrant out of California, the site looks to have been developed but again another site not resolving currently.
VR.com registered in 1998, after being dropped twice according to Domain Tools. Someone probably needs to check on those two previous registrants because they dropped a name worth millions that it’s unfathomable to understand. Of course the net was young back then but still. The domain is owned by Anything.com. Visiting the domain name just shows, “Welcome to VR.com.”
VirtualReality.com registered in 1997, no other earlier registrations are shown by Domain Tools, there were no recorded drops. 1997 seems late for a first time registration. The domain is also owned by Anything.com. The domain name is parked.
ChatBot.com registered in 1997 and was dropped 4 times previously. The domain looks to have changed hands recently and is slated for development with a landing page.
InternetofThings.com registered in 2003, the term was hardly as popular back then. Tim Warner ran an IT blog on the domain for awhile. Now the domain is under privacy and being brokered by Media Options.
AugmentedReality.com registered in 2003 and was once owned by Marchex. The domain is currently under privacy and parked.
Hologram.com registered in 1998 and is owned by Bobbleheads.com owner, Warren Royal. The domain is parked.
Cloud.com registered in 2000 well before the term “cloud computing” was popularized. Currently owned by Citrix Systems.
Part of the debate is who should get credit for inventing the idea. The notion of network-based computing dates to the 1960s, but many believe the first use of “cloud computing” in its modern context occurred on August 9, 2006, when then Google CEO Eric Schmidt introduced the term to an industry conference.Oct 31, 2011
