It was whitehouse.gov in 1992 on a Solaris SparcStation using the NCSA Mosaic browser.

I was at a university open day and they were showing off their computer labs and suggested we visit it. The joke was that there was a !!!!!! site with a very similar name, so a lot of people in the room ended up with red faces!

I remember sending my first email soon after, using PINE. Ahh... those were the days when computers were simple! Ain't it pretty:

Some sort of air travel thing. Sabre or something that uses Sabre. Before Travelocity.

First I remember using was a search engine called Metacrawler (returned results from multiple search engines). Def used others prior but that's the first I actually remember by name/function.

digital.altavista.net I think it was - the goto search engine that was going to take over the world.

As above, that was on a Sun sparc running NCSA mosaic.

AltaVista was the search engine - before Google was invented. I remember going to a party and the host had the internet (impressive!) and showed off by downloading a picture of a naked girl (all very tasteful by today's standards) which took a tantalising hour, line by line, to come down the dial-up.

Not technically the web as it hadn't been invented but in around '88 had my first online experience with CIX. Been an official member for over 25 years now.

The Motley Fool. I'd bought a book and the website was recommended. This got me onto the web. Shortly after we went to America and I did loads of research using the internet. And made my first internet purchase - tickets to a Red Sox Game in Boston plus a tour around the stadium. This would have been around 1996 to 1997 (we visited May 1997).
