A Web site is a collection of related Web pages images videos or other digital assets that are hosted on one Web server usually accessible via the Internet.
A Web page is a document typically written in HTML that is almost always accessible via HTTP a protocol that transfers information from the web server to display in the users web browser.
All publicly accessible websites are seen collectively as constituting the " World Wide Web".
The pages of a website can usually be accessed from a common root URL called the homepage and usually reside on the same physical server. The URLs of the pages organize them into a hierarchy although the hyperlinks between them control how the reader perceives the overall structure and how the traffic flows between the different parts of the site.
Some websites require a subscription to access some or all of their content. Examples of subscription sites include many business sites parts of many news sites academic journal sites gaming sites message boards Web-based e-mail services social networking websites and sites providing real-time stock market data. Because they require authentication to view the content they are technically an Intranet site.
