    What do you mean by the mass market? Offering web hosting to anybody on the net? I couldn't really be sure on that one :p

    I don't know if anyone knows who the first was....I would have to say perhaps Tim Berners-Lee......No, actually, I think that hosting was around long before the WWW was...I remember back in the days when you could rent server space to have a dial in BB
