Web Hosting Short Internet History

Short Internet History
I want to spend a little time on the history of the Internet, since this is the question I am most frequently asked. Many people argue exactly what year the Internet was started. On September 2, 1969, Professor Leonard Kleinrock installed the first Interface Messaging Processor (Imp) in his lab at UCLA (which makes the Internet 30 years old!).

Then the Internet was know as the ARPAnet (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network). It was designed to link university computers together to create one large system. In 1983, The ARPAnet's protocols were replaced by TCP/IP. TCP/IP is still the current protocol for the Internet. Next came the conception/invention of the World Wide Web (WWW) in 1991. Many people believe the Internet and the World Wide Web are the same, they are not. The Internet is all the computers, routers, switches, cabling that are interconnect to one another. The WWW is a facility of the Internet. The WWW consists of all the web sites and pages that are linked to other web pages around the world.
