A site, website, or web site, is a central location of various web pages that are all related and can be accessed by visiting the home page using a browser. For example, the Computer Hope website address is: http://www.computerhope.com. The image to the right shows how the Computer Hope website looked in 2011.

The first web site was built at CERN by Tim Berners-Lee and put online August 6, 1991.

Most style guides suggest using "website" instead of "web site" in all forms of writing.

A website refers to a central location that contains more than one web page. For example, Computer Hope is considered a website, which contains thousands of different pages. However, this page you're reading now is considered a web page on Computer Hope.
