What is the name of the first website?

“What is the name of the first website?” — The first website was hosted at info.cern.ch. It was created at CERN by Tim Berners-Lee as part of the project that introduced the World Wide Web.

The site explained what the Web was, how to use a browser, and how to create a web server. It was not a modern, image-heavy homepage; early Web pages were simple text documents connected by hyperlinks. The first web server ran on a NeXT computer at CERN, and Berners-Lee’s original browser also served as an editor.

The Web was publicly announced on August 6, 1991, through the Usenet newsgroup alt.hypertext. By December 1990, the basic pieces were already working: HTTP for communication, HTML for page structure, a browser, a server, and the CERN information site. The first website should not be confused with the first internet service, the first domain name, or CERN’s modern homepage at cern.ch.

The address is commonly written as info.cern.ch, although its original technical form and later archival versions may appear with a protocol prefix or trailing slash.
