I dont know and couldnt seem to find out what was the actual "first" website ever but I found some other interesting info in my searching such as that the
CERN telephone book was ONE of the first webpages.
Basically speaking... The first publication of the original ARPANET (commissioned by the DoD ) Host-Host protocol was in 1970 ( the very beginning of the "internet" ) although the first "final" version of WorldWideWeb webserver & browser software wasn't finished until christmas day in 1990. It was then introduced to the high energy physics community in March, 1991.
Quote:
In the fall of 1990, Tim Berners-Lee took about a month to develop the first web browser on a NeXT computer, including an integrated editor that could create hypertext documents. He deployed the program on his and Robert Cailliau's computers, and they were both communicating with the world's first web server at info.cern.ch on December 25, 1990.
The first project Berners-Lee and Cailliau tackled was to put the CERN telephone book on the web site, making the project immediately useful and gaining it rapid acceptance. Some CERN staff started keeping one window open on their computer at all times just to access the telephone web page.

In a fateful decision that significantly helped the web to grow, Berners-Lee managed to get CERN to provide a certification on April 30, 1993, that the web technology and program code was in the public domain so that anyone could use and improve it

I found another site that listed statistics that 130 websites existed in 1993 but I took so long to write this that my reply got timed out! ugh. Anyway, I hope you like the history lesson
