History of Website

The beginning of the Web as a publicly available service on the Internet arrived on August 6, 1991, when Berners-Lee published the first-ever website. Fittingly, the site was about the World Wide Web project, describing the Web and how to use it. Hosted at CERN on Berners-Lee’s Next computer, the site’s URL was https://info.cern.ch.

Talking about the historical perspective of the website, By October of 1990, Tim had written the three fundamental technologies that remain the foundation of today’s web (and which you may have seen appear on parts of your web browser):

1.)HTML: Hypertext Markup Language. The markup (formatting) language for the web.

2.)URI: Uniform Resource Identifier. A kind of “address is unique and used to identify each resource on the web. It is also commonly called a URL.

3.)HTTP: Hypertext Transfer Protocol. Allows for the retrieval of linked resources from across the web.

Tim also wrote the first web page editor/browser (“WorldwideWeb.app”) and the first web server (“https“). By the end of 1990, the first web page was served on the open internet, and in 1991, people outside of CERN were invited to join this new web community.

And in this way, the website came into the picture.
