Q: How can I find out when my website was FIRST launched? I know when the domain/service etc was bought. Original web designer is dead and all records lost. Archive.org is of no help. Can I find out when the website was “first viewable” by the public? Website is www.diamondaranchtexas.com. It has been re-designed since original in June of 2006. Domain and service was bought on 6-13-2006. That is not “proof” of when it was first put up so I am told. Yahoo says they have no record other than the purchase date.
