域名圈导语：本文回顾了DNS系统的发展历程，从1983年Paul Mockapetris创建DNS到1995年域名注册开始收费，涵盖了DNS的关键发展阶段。
Paul Mockapetris, a pivotal figure in the development of the internet, created the Domain Name System (DNS) in 1983. The DNS maps easy-to-remember domain names to numerical IP addresses, simplifying navigation on the internet. He also penned RFCs 882 and 883, which set forth the standard for DNS. The concept of DNS originated as a solution to address scalability issues with the early internet, replacing the centrally managed HOSTS.TXT file. In 1984, only six top-level domains (.com, .org, .net, .edu, .gov, and .mil) were available. The first domain, nordu.net, was registered on 1 January 1985, and it remains the oldest active domain. DARPA pushed users to adopt DNS in 1985, and the management of DNS was assigned to the Stanford Research Institute (SRI). Elizabeth Feinler, instrumental in developing the ARPANET directory, helped plan and run the Network Information Center (NIC) for ARPANET at SRI, managing the name registries of TLDs. The first country-code top-level domains (ccTLDs) were .us, .uk, and .il. The first .com domain, symbolics.com, was registered on 15 March 1985. Domain name registrations went public in 1986, allowing businesses and individuals to register domains. The .int TLD was created in 1988 for international organizations. IANA was founded in 1988 to manage critical aspects of the internet, including IP addresses and root zone management. Jon Postel, who worked with Paul Mockapetris, contributed to the initial design and implementation of DNS and served as the editor of the RFC series. Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, created HTTP, which relies on DNS to translate domain names into IP addresses. Network Solutions Inc. (NSI) managed the DNS from September 1991. RIPE NCC was created in April 1992 to coordinate and administer IP addressing in Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia. In 1995, domain name registration began to have a price, and the first SSL version was released by Netscape to secure web browsing.
