History of web servers
Words first web server
In 1989 Tim Berners-Lee proposed to his employer CERN(European Organization for Nuclear Research) a new project, which had the goal of easing the exchange of information between scientists by using a hypertext system
As a result of the implementation of this project, in 1990 Berners-Lee wrote two programs:
•a browser called WorldWideWeb.•the world's first web server, later known as “CERN httpd”, which ran on “NeXTSTEP”.

• Between 1991 and 1994 the simplicity and effectiveness of early technologies used to surf and exchange data through the World Wide Web helped to port them to many different operating systems and spread their use among lots of different social groups of people, first in scientific organizations, then in universities and finally in industry.
• In 1994 Tim Berners-Lee decided to constitute the World Wide Web Consortium to regulate the further development of the many technologies involved (HTTP, HTML, etc.) through a standardization process.
