Twenty Years Ago: The First Web Site
On August 6, 1991, at a CERN facility in the Swiss Alps, 36-year-old physicist Tim Berners-Lee published the first-ever website.
Info.cern.ch was the address of the world’s first-ever web site and web server, running on a NeXT computer at CERN.
The first web page address was http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html.
Visitors learned about hypertext, technical details for creating their very own webpage, and included an explanation on how to search the Web for information.
