WEB HISTORY NOTES - typed up from memory, 01/10/1996 The first website was info.cern.ch, put up by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN. Its project page had a 'Software Products' entry listing 6 programs, if I remember right. The browser was called WorldWideWeb, later renamed Nexus so nobody confused it with the web itself. I have a copy of the page under /archive/first-website, taken from a mirror.
