A web site is a related collection of world wide web files that includes a begining file called a home page. A company or an individual tell you how to get to their web sites by giving you the adress of there home pages from the homepage,you can get to all the other pages on their site. Ex: - web site for school has the home page adress of http://www.schoolnet.lk/ (the home page address actually includes a special file name like index. html but, as in school's case when a standard defult name is setup, dont have to enter the file name) school net home page address leads to thousand of pages,(but a web site can also be just a few pages)
since site imples geographical place, a web site can be confused with a web server. a server is a computer that holds the files for one or more sites. A very large web site may be spread over a number of servers in differend geographicul locations.
A synonym and les frequently used them for web site is "web presence" that them seems to better express the idea that a site is not tied to specific geographical location but is" some where in cyber space "However,
"web site" seems to be used much more freguently.
