We are excited to introduce a brand new technology on BuiltWith called Pre 2000 Internet. This category highlights websites that were first registered before the year 2000. You can now explore the oldest surviving domains that helped shape the early web and you can trace their presence back to 1985 for the very small number of sites that were already online then.

Extending technology history back to 1985 📜

BuiltWith has always focused on providing the most complete view of Internet technology usage. This new category takes that mission further by extending visibility into the true origins of the web. While only a handful of domains were active in the mid eighties the ability to see them in a modern technology intelligence platform helps preserve an important part of online history.
