Is the Space Jam website still online in 2026?
Yes, but not at the address people remember. The 1996 promotional site for Space Jam sat at spacejam.com untouched for 25 years: a black starfield with a ring of planets labeled Jam Central, Planet B-Ball, Lunar Tunes, Junior Jam and Stellar Souvenirs. In 2021, ahead of the 16 July release of Space Jam: A New Legacy, Warner Bros. handed the main domain to the sequel and moved the original to spacejam.com/1996.
That move is the reason the page still exists. Warner Bros. could have deleted the directory. Instead the studio gave it a permanent shelf, and the 1996 files load in 2026 the way they loaded on a 28.8k modem: tables for layout, animated GIFs, no CSS, no JavaScript worth the name, a fixed width built for a 640 by 480 screen.
What survives is not a reconstruction or a fan copy. It is the same HTML that Warner Bros. Online published while the movie was in theaters, which makes it the most visited piece of 1990s web design on the internet. The links still work. The trailer still downloads. The copyright line still reads 1996.
What was the first website, and can you still open it?
Tim Berners-Lee published the first website at CERN in August 1991, on a NeXT machine, at info.cern.ch. It was a page about the WorldWideWeb project itself: what hypertext was, how to get a browser, how to put your own documents online. There were no images on it, because the HTML of 1991 had no way to show one.
The original page went missing as the web expanded through the 1990s. CERN rebuilt it in 2013, for the twentieth anniversary of the day in April 1993 when the laboratory released the web into the public domain. The restored file sits at its first URL and has stayed there ever since.
"We are in a unique moment where we can still switch on the first web server and experience it," CERN web manager Dan Noyes told BBC News in 2013. That is the whole case for keeping these pages alive, made by the institution with the strongest claim to the first one.
Opening it in 2026 takes about a second, because it is a few kilobytes of plain text and nothing else. It is the fastest page you will load all week.
Why does Berkshire Hathaway still run a 1997 website?
berkshirehathaway.com is the strangest survivor on this list, because it was never abandoned. It is the live, official site of one of the largest companies in the world, and it looks like 1997: white background, a column of blue hyperlinks, a text advertisement for Geico and a postal address in Omaha for sending feedback.
The source code gives the game away. The pages were built in Microsoft FrontPage 3, Adobe PageMill 2 and Microsoft Word, and have been edited by hand since. Warren Buffett stepped down as chief executive at the end of 2025 after six decades running the company, and the site did not change.
The Wall Street Journal went looking at it in 2026 and found shareholders who want it left exactly as it is. The site, the paper wrote, "is still very much a reflection of the guy who says he's only sent an email once." One investor told the Journal she would sell her shares if the site were redesigned.
It is the clearest proof that old pages do not survive by neglect alone. Somebody has to decide, repeatedly, that changing them costs more than keeping them.
Who keeps a 1994 webcam pointed at a San Francisco campus?
FogCam started in the fall of 1994 as a student project in the Department of Instructional Technologies at San Francisco State University, built by Jeff Schwartz and Dan Wong. It posts a still image of a campus view and has done it for more than 30 years. Once the Trojan Room Coffee Pot camera at the University of Cambridge was switched off in 2001, FogCam became the oldest webcam still running anywhere.
It nearly ended. In August 2019 its creators announced they would shut it down at the end of that month, citing the loss of a decent vantage point and no support from the university. The announcement traveled, San Francisco State reversed course and took over the camera, and FogCam stayed on. It still updates in 2026, and a separate volunteer project now captures every frame it publishes.
Craigslist belongs in the same family for a different reason. Nobody preserved it. It simply never stopped being a page of blue links on a white background, because the layout worked and the traffic never punished it.
Which 90s sites did not survive?
Most of them. The Dole-Kemp site from the 1996 presidential race is the one people miss: a complete campaign website that stayed live for a quarter century after the election, then went offline in 2021, as Boing Boing reported at the time. A Wayback Machine copy and a preservation page kept by 4President.org are what remain of it.
GeoCities, the free homepage service that hosted a generation of personal pages, was shut down by Yahoo, and volunteers at Archive Team crawled everything they could reach before the deadline and handed the copy to the Internet Archive. NCSA Mosaic, the browser most of these pages were built for, stopped shipping long before the pages did.
The pattern holds across all of them. A 1990s page survives when one institution decides that keeping it costs less than the meeting about deleting it, or when one named person takes responsibility for the server. It dies when a company reorganizes and nobody in the new structure owns the domain.
How do you visit a 90s site that is already gone?
The Wayback Machine. The Internet Archive has been copying web pages since 1996, and in October 2025 it announced that it had passed one trillion archived pages. Type any address into web.archive.org and you get a calendar of snapshots reaching back as far as the crawler got.
Two limits matter. The archive keeps what the crawler could fetch, so pages behind logins, Flash movies and anything generated by a server script often come back broken or blank. And a snapshot is a single day in the life of a site, not the site: the links inside it may jump to a copy from a different year, or to nothing at all.
For the survivors in this article you do not need any of that. info.cern.ch, spacejam.com/1996, berkshirehathaway.com and fogcam.org all answer on their own domains in 2026. They are the last places on the web where the 1990s is still being served live rather than reenacted.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Space Jam website still up?
Yes. The original 1996 Space Jam website is online at spacejam.com/1996, where Warner Bros. moved it in 2021 when the main spacejam.com address was given over to Space Jam: A New Legacy. The pages are the same HTML the studio published in 1996, Jam Central and Lunar Tunes included.
What is the oldest website still online?
info.cern.ch, the page Tim Berners-Lee published at CERN in August 1991 to explain the WorldWideWeb project. The original was lost as the web grew through the 1990s, and CERN restored it in 2013 at the same address, where it is still readable in 2026.
Where can I see old websites from the 90s?
The Wayback Machine at web.archive.org holds snapshots of most of the web since 1996 and passed one trillion archived pages in October 2025. Enter any address and pick a date. For the 1990s sites that never went away, including info.cern.ch, spacejam.com/1996, berkshirehathaway.com and fogcam.org, you can simply visit the live domain.
