Kluft.com

Description

Ian Kluft, a Silicon Valley software engineer, registered kluft.com to serve as his personal e-mail address. After using the Internet for 6 years (and UseNet for 9 years) it was obvious there were no other Klufts on the Net - the Net was still small enough that you could know that. But no one knew at the time that the general public was about to embrace the Internet. It had previously been the exclusive workplace of computer scientists and other technical users.

The initial nameservers for the domain were hosted at Amdahl Corporation in Sunnyvale, California, where Ian worked at the time. (Ian founded Amdahl's corporate web site in late 1993 and maintained it for its first two years.) At the time, Amdahl was a Fortune 500 company but later was acquired by Fujitsu, who discontinued the Amdahl name in 2002.

Though some web sites existed in 1993, the kluft.com domain was initially only configured to serve e-mail. At the time, the mail was delivered via UUCP over modems to Ian's Linux e-mail server at home.
