Website Definition |
A Web site is a related collection of World Wide Web (WWW) files
that includes a beginning file called a home page. A company or an
individual tells you how to get to their Web site by giving you the
address of their home page. From the home page, you can get to all
the other pages on their site. For example, the Web site for Sign &
Print has the home page address of
http://www.signandprint.ca. (The home page address actually
includes a specific file name like index.html but, when a standard
default name is set up, users don't have to enter the file name.)
Sign & Print's home page address leads to several pages. But a Web
site can also be just one page (startup).

Home
Page |
A home page is the first page presented when a user selects a site
or presence on the World Wide Web. The usual address for a Web site
is the home page address, although you can enter the address of any
page and have that page sent to you.

Hosting |
Hosting (also known as website hosting or Web hosting) is the
business of housing, serving, and maintaining files for one or more
websites. In a sense, you rent space on a computer to hold your
website. Your host, the computer where your website files are
stored, assigns an address (DNS) for your files to your domain name
so that anyone can find your website on the Internet by typing in
your domain name. |
