YOU
FOUND IT.

You just followed a link from the early web. In 2005, this domain bought 600 pixels on The Million Dollar Homepage.

“Mon Premier Million” means “My First Million” in English and “Mi Primer Millón” in Spanish.

THE STORY
2005

Six hundred pixels were purchased.

MonPremierMillion.com appeared on The Million Dollar Homepage, a 1,000 × 1,000 pixel experiment where advertising space was sold for one dollar per pixel.

2005

A French million-pixel site was launched.

The original Mon Premier Million presented its own one-million-pixel idea across a map of France, with a price of 1€ per pixel.

···

The website disappeared.

The link stayed embedded in the original grid while the site behind it eventually vanished and the domain expired.

2026

The domain came back online.

Twenty-one years later, the same domain was registered again. If you arrived from that tiny French flag with the question mark, you just completed a 21-year-old hyperlink.

This page preserves a small piece of early internet history: one of the French million-pixel websites inspired by Alex Tew’s Million Dollar Homepage during the pixel-advertising boom of 2005.

A real screenshot from 2005.

The original site was a French take on the million-pixel craze: a giant clickable map of France, a running sales count, and a direct nod to The Million Dollar Homepage.

The web forgets quickly.
Some links don't.

WHAT NOW?

The first million never happened.
Maybe we try again.

For now, this page is a small time capsule. No fake restoration, no pretending to be the original owner — just the old link, alive again.

This is not the original 2005 website. MonPremierMillion.com was re-registered in 2026.

This page exists only to preserve a tiny piece of the old web. If you enjoyed finding it, you can help keep the domain online.
