    See this list: https://webalizer.net/sample/site_199905.html Most of these hostnames wouldn't be found in the logs nowadays. AOL being the top, followed by UUNet, Mindspring and Earthlink. I've never heard of

    This brings back memories of running to the server room when something went wrong, now replaced by an admin panel on $CLOUD_PROVIDER's website. Not quite the same thrill.

    The grandfather of all link shorteners: https://shorturl.com/ I had a .vze.com subdomain registered there in approx. 2006 and it still is live. Unfortunately, the target domain and website is long gone.
