Domain Name History
The World is operated by Software Tool & Die. The site and services were initially hosted solely under the domain name world.std.com which continues to function to this day.
Sometime in or before 1994, the domain name world.com had been purchased by Software Tool & Die and used as The World's primary domain name. In 2000, STD let go ownership of world.com and are no longer associated with it.
In 1999, STD obtained the domain name theworld.com, promoting the StudlyCapped version TheWorld.com as the primary domain name of The World.
