First-ever domain was registered in 1985. Many others were kept being registered since then. But what are the first used domains up to these days?

Thank you, interesting link. I had for a long time thought symbolics.com was the first "modern style" domain to have been registered, but it looks like it was actually nordu.net, even if the intention was to use it for a root server.
I am the founder of Octopus Deploy - we have #52 on that list. It was first registered in the same year I was born!
That page doesn’t seem reliable—it says various domains have been used for websites since 1986.
Yes, lots of domain names have been used since 1985-86. What's wrong here?
"websites"
