A website (also written Web site[1] or
simply site[2]) is a collection of related web pages containing
images, videos or other digital assets. A website is hosted
on at least one web server, accessible via a network such
as the Internet or a private local area network through
an Internet address also called URL.
A web page is a document, typically written
in plain text interspersed with formatting instructions
of Hypertext Markup Language (HTML, XHTML). A web page
may incorporate elements from other websites with suitable
markup anchors.
Web pages are accessed and transported with
the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), which may optionally
employ encryption (HTTP Secure, HTTPS) to provide security
and privacy for the user of the web page content. The
user's application, often a web browser, renders the page
content according to its HTML markup instructions onto
a display terminal.

All publicly accessible websites collectively constitute
the World Wide Web.
The pages of a website can usually be accessed from a
simple Uniform Resource Locator (URL) called the homepage.
The URLs of the pages organize them into a hierarchy,
although hyperlinking between them conveys the reader's
perceived site structure and guides the reader's navigation
of the site.
Some websites require a subscription to access some or
all of their content. Examples of subscription websites
include many business sites, parts of news websites, academic
journal websites, gaming websites, file-sharing websites,
message boards, web-based e-mail, social networking
websites, websites providing real-time stock market data,
and websites providing various other services (e.g. websites
offering storing and/or sharing of images, files and so
forth).
