What was the first website ever created?

The first website ever created was info.cern.ch.

Tim Berners-Lee created the site at CERN for the World Wide Web project. It was hosted on a NeXT computer at CERN and explained what the Web was, how to use a browser, and how to create a web server. The original site was therefore both a website and documentation for the technology that made websites possible.

The first page is commonly associated with the URL http://info.cern.ch, although early web addresses and individual document paths can produce slightly different formulations. That distinction does not change the standard quiz answer: info.cern.ch is the canonical name of the first website.

The Web was developed in 1989, and the first web server and browser followed at CERN. On April 30, 1993, CERN placed the Web software in the public domain, helping it spread beyond research institutions. A frequent mistake is answering www.cern.ch, which is CERN’s modern public website rather than the original Web project site.
