Does SDF count? It's been going since 1987. Obviously the Lemmy instance is newer, and it's stretching the definition of website a bit.
You ask as if people know what SDF is.
Since it's my instance and you can probably click to it through my username, I felt like a link would be overkill. But: www.sdf.org.
That was honestly kind of rhetorical, too. It's been something you could connect to since the 80's, and it's still an everyday part of my life, which is related enough to mention even if OP wouldn't call that a website.
The oldest one I regularly use is this one: https://web.archive.org/web/19961108115333/http://www.kela.fi/
It's the Finnish state organ for giving people their welfare benefits and operating the national health insurance system. So, if you get a child, you get an amount of money per month from Kela for having a child. (Because they want the population to grow).
Or, if you end up unemployed for a longer time, it's Kela that will pay your unemployment benefits.
Of if you break your leg, it's Kela that pays for your hospital care. I don't know how many forms I've already filled on their website :D
But yeah, the site's been around for a while now.
The modern version looks ass.
I recently had to dig deeper into Regex than I thought one could dig into Regex and found this website that claims it’s from 2003: https://www.regular-expressions.info/
theguyintheglass.com (about the poem) was last updated on 1998-10-03 and created on 1997-12-25 according to the footer.
This is still operational. Early middleware for online multiplayer in video game emulators. I'm surprised to see a few still use it.
Edit: 2001
serebii.net is one of those sites that surprises me that not only its still up, but also being regularly updated.
