World first website

You use Facebook, Google and other web pages everyday. But have you ever visited world’s first website? Let’s recall the history.

The main idea of World Wide Web (WWW) was proposed 2 decades ago in March 1989 by Tim Berners-Lee. It was written to persuade CERN that a global hypertext system was in CERN’s best interest. The term World Wide Web was never thought and mentioned in his proposal, rather it was calledMesh. The term WWW was coined only when he was writing the code in 1990.

Finally he finished is codding for WWW in 1990 based on his proposal, along with the standards for HTML, HTTP, and URLs.

It was 1991 when the first website ever was created with URL http://info.cern.ch. The first content in the first website was to explain the World Wide Web.

World’s First Web Page

The first web page file name was TheProject.html. And it was actually located at following link:
http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html

Is the Free Web About to Expire?

It's finally happening. The foundation upon which the Web is built—oodles and oodles of free content and services—is about to crumble. It hasn't happened yet, but the signs that it soon will are all there:

• A glut of free content from largely undifferentiated sources

• Premier providers struggling to maintain a steady flow of new content without the benefit of revenue

• A beyond-hard economy beating back every idea, initiative, and dollar that might help float said content on the free Web

• An uncooperative public that remains unwilling to pay for virtually anything online

A few weeks ago, the Senate Commerce Committee held a hearing on the future of journalism. It described in stark terms the very real crisis that the print media (and its online counterparts) faces in the era of the free Web. Since the hearing was planned as a fact-finding event, no one expected concrete solutions to emerge. Still, it felt a little like scientists talking about global warming. They tell you it's happening and outline some steps we might take to mitigate it, but it's also clear that there's not a tremendous amount we can do to stop the larger trend. Similarly, the constant flow of free online content and the demise of print seem unstoppable. But I'm beginning to think they aren't.

Four years ago, I warned that the "something for nothing" business model was unsustainable. I even argued for taxing the Internet. This was not a popular idea, but I still think a small, monthly usage tax could help struggling local governments.

Had the economy not collapsed in late 2008, the free Web could have continued—but it wouldn't have lasted indefinitely. Anyway, as everyone knows, the economy's free fall has only marginally abated since late last year. In the painful reality of 2009, the scale (that is, the vast numbers of site visitors and page views) that used to sustain virtually every blog, news, and newspaper Web site—and even search engines—no longer seems to matter.

There's no question that news- and video-consumption sites, download destinations, and free services generate huge amounts of traffic and have traditionally been supported by ad revenue from big banner ads. For years, however, advertisers have bemoaned their abysmal ad click-through rates—the number of times people actually click on those ads. Contextual ads—think Google AdSense, where the text-only ads relate directly to whatever you're looking at on the page—put a soothing balm on the situation, but the irritating burn of consumer indifference is now starting to diminish the impact of that kind of ad as well.

Thing is, we have only ourselves to blame for this mess. The Web's incredibly low barrier to entry made it possible for anyone with a computer and a dream to launch a content Web site. These people created oodles of posts, stories, images, video, and so forth for their sites and then built an audience. At some point along the way, especially if they needed to pay for hosting costs or hire some help, they might have thought about a business model—but by then it was too late. They had devoted fan bases raised on the sweet milk of the free Web.

Recently, when Fox News founder Rupert Murdoch spoke of trying to pull back the free content on newspaper sites, most people laughed. (He quickly followed with a micro-payment plan for Wall Street Journal articles). Everyone assumes that the minute you kill one free content source, another will quickly flow in to fill the vacant space. This is true today, but something interesting and potentially scary is happening that may change this. Let's assume that Murdoch carries through with his micro-payment plans and that the newspapers actually do get their act together, convince Congress to loosen monopoly laws, and then work in concert to create a fixed online menu of content prices. With all this once-free content behind a pay gate, one would assume that smaller news sites and blogs—even citizen journalists—would fill the free gap. Not so fast. The safety nets provided by companies with deep pockets and the patience to let a platform build its revenue base are no more. Instead, many smaller sites are struggling to monetize their own little businesses before it's too late. Even major sites, with networks of blogs, are reporting huge losses. What incentive do any of them have to create free news content to fill the vacancy left by traditional news media?

This could be the old-school news media's chance.

Web site services, such as photo services, storage, finance sites, and the like, which have so far thrived on advertising, are also probably rethinking their business models. This will likely lead to some consolidation and certainly some pay-to-play models that we haven't see much of before. Murdoch-style micro-payments for things like content archives, which have till now failed, will see a resurgence. A new generation of consumers is proving that they're willing to pay in $1-to-$10 increments for things like music and applications. Might they not accept paying, say, a fraction of that for gated/archival content?

How about videos? Google has ads all over YouTube, but it's still not a huge ad revenue success (Google recently redesigned YouTube specifically to help boost ad revenue).

There will still be blogs, video, and news stories out there for the taking—no dinero required— but they could be in the minority. Over the next five years, I expect the Internet to become a more traditional marketplace. It'll resemble a vast mall, with millions of little storefronts that give you a taste of all manner of juicy content. However, to get the real-deal—the full monty, so to speak—you're gonna have to pay.

I'll miss you, free Web.

Free State Group Delivers Eco-Friendly Green Web Hosting

The Free State Group, a leading provider of e-marketing, web development and hosting services, is proud to announce its new green initiative. Free State announced that it is offsetting its carbon emissions with Carbonfund.org, the leading nonprofit carbon offset and climate solutions organization.

We already utilize server virtualization technology to lessen our power demands but as of today, we’re proud to say that we’re offsetting more than three times the carbon that we’re currently responsible for generating.

the directory of Free Web hosting

Free website hosting plans" are a type of web hosting service where you get free web space on their hosting server to create and host your web site free. Free web page hosting has several advantages, but mainly that it costs nothing (no money and no credit cards needed). Free web site hosting services also often have several disadvantages (though a few actually surpass some of the cheapest paid hosting servers in some features), such as limited webhosting features and forced ads. Usually in exchange for these free hosting services, the free web hosting company places advertisements on your free web pages of some sort (banners, textlinks, popups, etc.) to cover their costs, and hopefully make a profit. However there are some free website hosts that provide free bannerless hosting (no ads, no popups, and no advert of any kind), so they make money in other ways, such as displaying ads for the webmaster to click in their control panel, sending email ads, or requiring forum posting (which of course displays ads, as well as causing you to create free website content for them). Other free web page hosts offer very limited services (such as limited web page space, bandwidth limit, and no scripting) to attract users and hope that many people upgrade to a paid webhosting service. Many free website hosts provide a subdomain or sub-directory of their own domainname instead of (or an option to) allowing its users to host their own top-level domain name free. Most of the free webpage hosting providers over the years have proven to often not be reliable servers, but most of the free hosts listed on this web site have been in service several years, so are more reliable than most newer free hosts.

Yahoo closing Geocities web hosting service

Yahoo will close Geocities, the free web hosting service it paid $4bn for 10 years ago.
“Sorry, new Geocities accounts are no longer available,” read a message on the homepage on Friday.

In 1999, when Yahoo purchased Geocities, it was the third most visited site on the web behind AOL and Yahoo, with 19 million unique visitors in December 1998, according to a Comscore Media Metrix report. Now Geocities is slightly outdated in the current Web 2.0 era, giving users no way to integrate their sites with third-party applications.
The closure is also evidence that the revenue model for hosting free web sites is difficult to sustain, especially in the current economic climate.
Yahoo has encouraged Geocities members to start upgrading to the company’s subscription-based Web Hosting service, although it assured them in a statement that they will still be able to access their sites and Geocities services until “later this year”.
Subscription to the Web Hosting service - which offers a personalised domain name, email, site building tools and premium customer support – costs around $114 (£78) a year for a 12-month contract.
The announcement follows a similar decision by Google to shut down Page Creator in June 2009 and migrate users to Google Sites.
Competing web hosting sites, such as Jimdo, are vying for both Google and Yahoo customers. Jimdo offers both a free service, as well as a professional version called JimdoPro, which costs £60 a year.
“Come to Jimdo! We're hard at work on an easy way for Geocities users to migrate over to Jimdo accounts,” the company said in a statement today. “Yahoo hasn’t said when the last day is so jump ship while you can!”
Yahoo has promised to release more details about the Geocities date of closure and how users can save their site data soon

How to host your own free website in a few minutes

Do you want to build your own website? What stops you? Some people believe that making websites is a complex process that can be done only by experienced professionals. However, with the advent of advanced web tools introduced by many companies like Google anyone can build their own website for free!
The simplest way to make a site without spending a single cent is to take advantage of numerous online services that offer some form of free hosting, pre-determined layouts, and web editors. It is a perfect choice if this is your first website ever and you don’t know anything about HTML or CMS.
Using web tools, you can create your own site and tell about your family, friends, pets, hobbies and interests. It will save you the costs of hiring a developer – why spend hundreds of dollars for posting 10 pictures of your sweet doggy?
Your website can even be commercial or related to a business that you want to advertise. For example, if you are a freelance writer or translator, you can make a page with the examples of your works and add its URL to your resume.
Online services will let you create web pages with simple and easy steps. You need to register your account, choose a template you want and add your content. Using an easy design editor, you will be able to add links or change the fonts, pictures, background and colors.
You can build your own website with clicks and type or drag and drop. There is no coding required. It saves you from the hassles caused by inexperience or lack of money. Why hire professional website designers when you can use their works for free?
Of course, having your own website built with free online tools has several downsides. First of all, free domains may have restriction on domain space capacity while paid domains provide vast space for usage. So you will not be able to upload a lot of content.
Then, a free website often has very limited consumer support. When a server crashes you will not get any compensation. You are not paying any money for their services, so why should they care?
Keep in mind that free websites are typically linked to using a sub-domain. For example, if you have your own web domain, you website URL will look like www.mysite.com. If you have a free domain, you website URL will look like www.mysite.webdomain.com.
Free web hosting companies often provide free accounts with very little functions and control. The idea behind this form of marketing is to get you to upgrade to a paid hosting account since you will probably find the features and options of their free account to be far less than what you need.
In addition, free domains can be considered as “less serious.” Unlike paid web host that primarily earn revenues through web hosting fees, free web hosting companies are advertisement-oriented. If they do offer you enough features to get your website working, then chances are that they are going to include advertisements at the top of your website. Of course, it doesn't look too appealing.
There are many free places on the Internet where you can create your own site and use server space for free. It doesn’t require too much technical knowledge. You will have your own personal website in minutes! Consider one of the follow services:• Weebly.comWeebly offers free domain hosting and dozens of professional designs.

Free websites have limited functionality and include banners.

Using free plan, you can get 150 MB disk space and 4 GB data transfer. Other advantages include advanced control panel, traffic statistics, web based file manager and friendly support.
Free site-building resources are an excellent way to start on the Internet. It is a great feeling to have your own website and know that you built it yourself! However, keep in mind that these types of websites are actually more of a profile or blogs than a website.
If you just want to write up some information and share it with other people, than you can use any web-building tools you like. But if you intend to make money online, you might need to consider other options.
