I just found the earliest incarnation of my personal website, created 8 years ago in Feburary 2004, hosted on my ISP's hosting service (5MB and no PHP at the time o.o), later updated in August of that year to include frames. Since then, I developed at least 5 versions of the site.
http://pages.videotron.com/zabimage/juju2143/ (Juju's website v1.1, 2004)
Yeah, I liked Comic Sans a lot at the time. The URL was then moved to juju2143.cjb.net. The URL later moved to Multimania in 2007 with an entierely new CSS. This version debuted the concept of draggable elements later used in v3 and the Julosoft name.
http://membres.multimania.fr/juju2143/test/ (Juju's website v2, quickly redirects to v3, 2007)
I updated in 2008 with some sort of windowing system called JulOS. This version debuted the concept of personal sites disguised as operating systems later reused in v4 and v5.
http://membres.multimania.fr/juju2143/ (Juju's website v3, 2008)
The URL then moves to juju2143.kicks-ass.net:666 at home on some unreliable web server, then I bought a VPS and a domain name (julosoft.net) and moved everything there. In 2011, the site got a major overhaul: a command-line AJAXish JulOS v2.0, pretty reminescent of one of xkcd's April Fools.
http://julosoft.net/ (Juju's website v4, 2011)
Then I later bought another domain name and hosted a more accessible and readable personal site there, leaving v4 on the other domain name as some sort of experiment.
http://juju2143.ca/ (Juju's website v5, 2012)
So it's the long story of my website. I kinda feel old, 5 incarnations of the official juju2143's website in 8 years, with countless subsites such as forums, utilities, tests, proofs of concept and random crap. :P
What about you guys?

Eight in two years. (http://tistory.wikidot.com/clrhome#toc5) Beat that :P There are actually two more "designs" before those when I first started playing with HTML, so it's more like ten in three years.
Anyway I still like your #4 the best (except that I can't tab to filenames). I can't seem to do anything on juju2143.ca...
I've always been confused by the number of URLs you have. Aren't there also juju2143.qc.to and juju.qc.to? XD
-
juju2143.qc.to is the blog (not counted as a homepage since it's an addon to the actual homepage) and juju.qc.to is just a URL shortener.
juju2143.ca is just a static page, only devised as a lightweight and more presentable alternative to julosoft.net, which is pretty much an experiment that could be unusable on older browsers. I still leave v4 on just to show off how it's great, actually better than v5 in term of functionality.

Okay, your post reminded me to look for the first web page I ever made, and ... apparently this (http://dt.clrhome.org/Technology.html) was my "project" for a school assignment./me sits down and cries

I wish I still had a copy of my first site as it was before I update it lol. Archive.org never cached it and I never got the site to show up in any search engine. It had a Final Fantasy VII tricks and rumors section along with a page about my "choose-your-own-adventure" based comic books.
It was very horrible, though, especially before the upgrade, and it was made with Front Page on Windows 95. It was back in June 2001, though. I updated it in late 2003: http://www.omnimaga.org/oldsite/metranor.html
It was gonna be what I use as calc RPG site, but back then Omnimaga was gonna be in French. Due to poor demand it was finally made in English instead.
In 2004 I had http://cf.geocities.com/omnimaga , which was Omnimaga under construction. It had the same background color but yellow text if I remember. All it had was a huge ROL3 screenshot linking to its MaxCoderz thread, along with another link I forgot about (probably the yAronet forums I was using back then for Omni)
Then of course this site: (on Freewebpage then about 8 different free hosts) http://www.omnimaga.org/oldsite/index_v1.html (2004)
Then a slight redesign http://www.omnimaga.org/oldsite/index_v2.html (late 04)
Then another, after 2 months of downtime http://www.omnimaga.org/oldsite/index_v3.html (2005)
Then another (now with a dynamic software!) http://web.archive.org/web/20051212205437/http://omnimaga.dyndns.org/index.php?act=site
Then we switched to the 2.5 theme in Feb 06, then 3.0 in Apr 06, then shut down in 2008 and here we are today (although we used the v4.0 theme until 2010)
