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. 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. In 1994, websites for the general public became available. 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.
By June 1995, the number of websites had expanded significantly, with some 23,500 sites. 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.
