The world's first website is still online today.

In 1990, physicist Tim Berners-Lee created the World Wide Web while working at CERN, the European particle physics laboratory, as a way for researchers to share documents over the internet using hyperlinks. The first website, describing the new project itself, went live in 1991 at the address info.cern.ch.

CERN restored the original page in 2013 to mark the Web’s more than two decades of existence, and it remains viewable in close to its original bare-bones form: plain text describing hypertext, with links to technical details and how to set up a server of your own — a stark contrast to the web it eventually became.
