List of websites founded before 1995
The first website was created in August 1991 by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN, a European nuclear research agency. Berners-Lee's WorldWideWeb browser became publicly available the same month. By June 1992, there were ten websites.[1] The World Wide Web began to enter everyday use in 1993, helping to grow the number of websites to 623 by the end of the year.[2] In 1994, websites for the general public became available.[3] By the end of 1994, the total number of websites was 2,278, including several notable websites and many precursors of today's most popular services.[1]
By June 1995, the number of websites had expanded significantly, with some 23,500 sites.[1] Thus, this list of websites founded before 1995 covers the early innovators. Of the 2,879 websites established before 1995, those listed here meet one or more of the following:
- They still exist (albeit in some cases with different names).
- They made a significant contribution to the history of the World Wide Web.
- They helped to shape modern Web content, such as webcomics and weblogs.
For this list, the term website is interpreted as a unique hostname that can be resolved into an IP address.
