You asked, "What was the first website ever?" Well, that depends on your definition of "web site." It would be great if there was a nice clear-cut answer, but, like most inventions, the world wide web didn't just pop into existence all at once....It happened (and is still happening) in stages. A reasonable answer might be the site that Tim Berners-Lee put together at CERN for the development of the first Browser/Editor, called WorldWideWeb, in 1990. But people might say, no, that didn't have enough in it of what we would today call "web technology" to qualify. Others might say, no, there were earlier things that qualify like Vanevar Bush's " As We May Think" article in the July 1945 Atlantic Monthly.
But I'll stick with whatever test data Berners-Lee used in the development of the program called WorldWideWeb. Certainly by 1993, there were several sites at CERN that qualified by most people's definition. Here's a screen shot of the 1993 WorldWideWib browser/editor courtesy of the World Wide Web Consortium:

As you can see, it's pretty close to what we have today!
For more information I recommend you visit the World Wide Web Consortium's About the World Wide Web Consortium pages they have a lot of background information on the history of the Web, including a timeline you might find interesting.
Hope this helps!

adam&eve.com no just kidding, the first website ever should have been a defence and military website of USA which is highly confidential, people don't even know it address.
The USSR's launch of Sputnik spurred the United States to create the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA, later known as the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA) in February 1958 to regain a technological lead. ARPA created the Information Processing Technology Office (IPTO) to further the research of the Semi Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE) program, which had networked country-wide radar systems together for the first time. J. C. R. Licklider was selected to head the IPTO, and saw universal networking as a potential unifying human revolution.

The original first web page went online on August, 1991 was created by Tim Berners-Lee - the inventor of World Wide Web with the help from Robert Cailliau. On 30 April 1993, Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire (CERN) announced that the World Wide Web (www.) would be free to anyone. The ancestor of every website can be found at http://www.w3.org/History/19921103-hypertext/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html

When the internet was first created it was just a TCP/IP connection so computers could send data packets to eachother... PLAIN TEXT. There were no "domains" or "websites"... not even HTML.
