List of websites founded before 1995

The first website was created in August 1991 by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN, a European nuclear research agency. Berners-Lee's WorldWideWeb browser was made publicly available that month. The World Wide Web began to enter everyday use in 1993–4, when websites for the general public started to become available. By the end of 1994, the total number of websites was still minute compared to present figures, but quite a number of notable websites were already active, many of which are the precursors or inspiring examples of today's most popular services. Of the thousands of websites founded prior to 1995, those appearing here are listed for one or more of the following reasons:
1993.
By the end of 1993, there were 623 websites, according to a study by MIT Researcher Matthew Gray.
1994.
By mid-1994 there were 2,738 websites, according to Gray's statistics; by the end of the year, more than 10,000.
