On This Day August 6

1991 Tim Berners-Lee released files describing his idea for the World Wide Web, a publicly available service on the Internet on August 6, 1991. This date also marked the debut of the Web as a publicly available service on the Internet, although new users could only access it after August 23rd. In December 1993 there were just 623 websites on the internet.

1991 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. Built by Berners-Lee, it was dedicated to information on the World Wide Web project and ran on a NeXT computer at CERN.
