A webpage is a document from the internet which can be seen with a web browser. A website is a set of webpages that are joined together.
The first ever website to be built was http://info.cern.ch. While inventing and working on setting up the World Wide Web, Tim Berners-Lee spent many of his working hours in Building 31 at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, CERN. The first web page went live on August 6, 1991. It was dedicated to information on the World Wide Web project and was made by Tim Berners-Lee. It ran on a NeXT computer at CERN and its web page address was http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html.
The first web page may be lost, but Paul Jones of UNC-Chapel Hill in North Carolina has a copy of a page sent to him in 1991 by Berners-Lee which is the oldest known web page. Jones stored the plain-text page, with hyperlinks, on a floppy disk and on his NeXT computer. CERN put the oldest known web page back online in 2014, complete with hyperlinks that helped users get started and helped them navigate what was then a very small web.
Paul Kunz from Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, a United States Department of Energy National Laboratory operated by Stanford University, California, visited Tim Berners-Lee at CERN in September 1991. He was impressed by the World Wide Web project and brought a copy of the software back to Stanford. SLAC launched the first web server in North America on December 12, 1991. It was the second website in the world to come online.
The Dutch National institute for subatomic physics launched the third website in the world to come online in February 1992. It was originally at http://nic.nikhef.nl.
The Internet Movie Database was founded in 1989 by participants in the Usenet newsgroup rec.arts.movies as a place to record actresses with beautiful eyes. The IMDB was rolled out on the web in late 1993, hosted by the computer science department of Cardiff University in Wales.
In December 1993 there were just 623 websites on the internet.
JumpStation was the first World Wide Web search engine that behaved, and appeared to the user, the way current web search engines do. It was created by computer science graduate Jonathon Fletcher on December 12, 1993 and announced on the Mosaic "What's New" webpage nine days later. JumpStation was hosted at the University of Stirling in Scotland but was discontinued when Fletcher left the University in late 1994, having failed to get any investors.
Purple.com was a single-page website launched by Jeff Abrahamson on August 31, 1994. The first known single-serving site, it consisted of no links or text and its only content was a purple background.
Pizza Hut was the first restaurant to test online ordering for delivery, PizzaNet was created in 1994 and serviced a Pizza hut in Santa Cruz, California. It was developed by a few folks at a development shop known as Santa Cruz Operation (SCO).The site can still be visited today.
The original Facebook website had an image of a man's face on it. Dubbed the "Facebook guy" it was later revealed that the photo was actually the legendary movie actor Al Pacino.
Before Google launched their email service, "G-Mail" was the name of a free email service offered by Garfield's website.
Internet entrepreneur Steve Chen worked at Facebook for a few months before quitting to set up a small website called YouTube in 2005 with Chad Hurley and Jawed Karim.
The current library at Alexandria has a recorded memory of the all the web pages on every website on the Internet since 1996.
If you search for "elgooG" on Google, it will take you to a Google website that is completely backwards.
MI6 once hacked an Al-Qaeda website and replaced instructions on how to make a bomb with a cupcake recipe.
