I published an article regarding the first 100 registered domain names last January of 2008. I learned today that Symbolics.com was sold to XF.com Investment for an undisclose amount.
"Symbolics.com, the first domain name ever registered, has changed hands for the first time since its original registration on March 15, 1985. Missouri-based XF.com Investments purchased the historic Internet address from the Symbolics company for an undisclosed price. Symbolics sold the domain even though the company is still in operation nearly 25 years after they made history by registering the name. Since that initial domain registration a quarter of a century ago 180 million domains names have been registered!" (2009, DNJournal.com)
