Before these domains became popular, they were just regular websites (14 Photos)

I never would have guessed it, but some of the most popular domain names on the web today, actually had incarnations before Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates got their hands on them. Back in the late 90's and early 00's, no one expected to be ordering things online, have apps to order cabs and social media was a thing that only tech savvy kids were into, and back then it was all about writing song lyrics as your status and secretly creeping your crush. Ok, we still do that. No one would have guessed that these URLs would have turned into the hugely trafficked site that they've become. Who'd have guessed that 10-15 years ago, the internet was a wild west of basic web design and defunct products, and lucky for us Essayroo put together some history of early website domains, and they're wild. Check them out.
